Two engines in anything that doesn't fly or run on rails is mad!! I don't like 306's much either. This thing of Pug1Off's is not the most, err, relaxing mode of transport to say the least.

PG, that's absolutely correct: It's not legal to use two engines on the road.

Pug1Off's 306 runs as a front engine FWD car for road purposes. For the same reasons the NOx system is disabled for road use.

What about Electric hybrids these can potentially have 5 engines - 1 petrol and 4 electric motors? It seems daft that we can't run on roads with 2 engines! Then again we can't use 2 fuels at the same time either!

Think they were 1400 anyway. 240hp, through each axle. Be afraid.... especially since it made it about 500 hp/ton

I have read up on this car once before. Its great. Bike engines tend to need a hell of a lot of reviing to get any power - that must make for a fun drive.
