This is an interesting vehicle; Emerson Fittpaldi's '67 Beetle, with two 1600 engines, with Okrasa kits, Porsche g'box, for a total of 4.4 litres.

Lots of info at this site

Looks cool, but that isn't the twin engine car.

4.4 liters mid mounted in a Beetle though... how much fun would that be !!!
