Guys and girls;
See this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-he ... r-12608039 - shame that they didn't use the Morini engine. Perhaps some-one should tell them it's available...

And now for something completely different

Re: And now for something completely different
Or, as the Morini engine is a fore-and-aft layout, how about a recreation of John Bolster's Bloody Mary, in which he stuck four Jap v-twins. By the time he'd developed the car this far, I think even he was getting a bit scared...
I'm sure EVGuru could craft something suitable?

There would be no problem mounting a Vee twin in front with a coupling in place of the gearbox sprocket to drive the rear wheels, plenty of bike engine kit kars do this, or do as Triking do with a Guzzi power unit driving the back wheel.
The problem comes when you want to sell to modern drivers who want the luxury of a reverse gear, hence the use of a car gearbox in place of a nice sequential bike box
