yes but is the car like awd ? like does 1 engine work the front wheels and one for the back? why does the back engine seem so much smaller? am i the only one that wonders that?

front engine for front wheels, rear engine for rear wheels. the rear engine is identical, it is just the rear view of the engine and it has no cover on it so it looks smaller.

Now, one thing I am wondering is if he has some sort of electronic system, like traction control, that will shift power from front to back?

iirc,
Honda did a dual engined CRX long time ago.
running across the same engineering problems as my friend is running into now.
he is working on a system to control both throttle simultaneously and to make the car drivable. He is trying to keep everything under wraps until the first race at the end of May.

Since when did 2.8 + 2.8 = 5.2?

Last I checked, 2.8 + 2.8 = 5.6

Tell Petar that "Lupo W12" doesn't sound right ... "Lupo Duo Magnifico" sounds much better
