	Can't find a lot of info on this, but I saw it and just had to post it on here. It's got a 2.2 4 pot chrysler turbo up front, and a Huge Cadilac V8 in the rear. I'd like to hear the noise it makes! It looks mean as foo too! Does anyone know anyting about it?

	Mental! Surly both engines can't run at the same time? 2.2 4 pot for getting to an event and the V8 for racing?

	Maybe the four pot is just there to keep the front wheels on the ground.

	Why not? They found a system on the MRolla, they have a manual gearbox on the front engine and an automatic one at the back I reckon. Awesome find anyways, I love the rear three-quarters shot, the whole width of the car consists in tyres and V8

	I'd like to know how the drive from that V8 makes it to the rear wheels? The centers of those rear wheels + shocks look to be just about inline with the back half of the engine. Behind that, it looks like there's just about room for the bellhousing & little else beyond that.. And where's the cooling ducts & vents for that engine???

	Probably one of those odd chain-drive longitudinal FWD V8s that the Yanks used for a bit.

	Maybe the V8 doesn't drive the wheels, maybe the V8 drives a massive supercharger or turbocharger to boost the 2.2 4 pot. Just a crazy idea LOL!

	There were range of Cadilacs and Oldsmobiles that were FWD, I cant ever remember seeing one with a manual box, I had to double take, as it looks like its on split Revos

	I'd be surprised if the bulge there is instead of the number plate recess in this picture wasn't the tip of the gearbox:

	Well, that blows my opinion of all Yugos being knock kneed weedy little cars that I had the displeasure of knowing when I was a kid. That is tough!

	Probably a Toronado trans, the trans sits kind of below and to the side.

	Ahhh the car with exploding CV joints, a mate had one of these in the mid 80s, the thing would kill CVs like they were on special offer, eventually found out he loved nailing it coming out of T junctions and then he would spend the rest of the day trying to rebuild CVs, Ahhhhh misspent youth
