Well the car drives around 10.60 times so i guess it is ugly but fast. Has as Søren says to turbo charged I4 1.6 litre engines that produces around 350-400 hp each. They used the rear axel and everything from a rwd toyota mr2 and welded it on the corolla in the back. So one motor on the front axel and one on the rear axel.

I was once thinking of doing this to a Peugot Coupe (406 Pinafarina one) with the 3.0L V6. I remember someone oiking 750BHP out of one and thought that would be great if there was anotherone in the boot (VEYRON EAT YOUR HEAT OUT) as a combined 1500BHP would be enoght to bait anything on the road today.Dark Grey Avant

One downside to twin engines is extra weight.
Also do you have enough room in the back of your shorty for an extra engine?
As mentioned cooling can be a problem, as you've already moved the front radiator to the rear, there may be a lack of space. You'll need some extra openings cut out of the bodywork, to cool air, water and oil. Fuel tank location can be awkward too.
Mechanical linkages shouldn't be a problem. Will the gearboxes be 5 speed or 6? I'm not sure how the 6 speed selector works. If it's the usual pin that rotates slightly and moves in and out of the casing, then that's no worries. You just need to route a linkage back from the gear stick.
I was trying to get my head around the strain on the transmission. Would each FWD gearbox be assisted by the other. So each gearbox could handle more power than if it was being used on its own?SS
