That's ridiculous. Where would you put the spare wheel duh!

Well with that much power in such a short wheelbase , if the passenger cell isn't strong enough he will be underground with concrete above ...

Just remember , 5 years ago anyone talking about putting a 200 horsepower starlet engine in a mini would have been ridiculed .

2 engines but not 3 , the rear wheels will be at least a foot apart and would look weird .
Would make a killer drag car thou

I cannot see ANY practical or non-practical reason to put three engines in. Two - ok.. three - waste of money, time and a Mini. Go and get a Kenworth if you want 6 wheels and 700hp

probably cost less too

_________________

ummm Kenworth you say 6 wheels + 700hp + upwards of 6000 kg

I want to do 6 wheels + 700hp + less than 1200 kg and get it past cams

The centre set of wheels will fit 2.5 inches infront of the rear set and 2.5 inches behind the door

120bhp with 450kg just fun waiting to happen

We were prob. drunk when we set it up last and thought this will be a good idea

I guess I just can't understand why? For any purpose really... other than 'Hey, look... you looking... three engines ' Your money would be better spent on a twin engine setup IMHO. Three engines will make it handle like a b!tch if you're planning on any form of motorsport... the only thing I can think of that it would be any practical use is a tow truck!

I'm not purposely trying to squish your idea, I'm all for new things It's just I really can't see the benefit of spending all that money for something that would be better suited to a stand at autosalon than the road

<EDIT> <EDIT again, too many 2.0L VTEC possibilities > Geez, some nuts are pushing over 300kw out of the poor B16!

If you run a tape measure over it I think you will find you will be flat out having an occupant compartment of useable size.

Vans/utes are only 50mm longer than the standard sedan - that is not a lot of room to do what you want to do.

But hey, whatever floats your boat...................
