W12 Lupo

[Stu.750]

Theres a bloke at the moment stuffing a hayabusa engine in the back of a lupo and stickin carbon front wings and bonnet on it , when its done it should shift a touch

Like the haybusa mk 1 then?

no its more like the Z cars minis in contruction, the busa MK1 was longitude mounted with a rear diff and if im honest looked like it was sitting too high , went like stink tho

but you're not impressed by two vr6's in a lupo?

i only get out of bed for at least four vr6 lumps in a lupo, now let me get back to sleep.

Clever stuff, I love the twin rev counters in the binacle.

would love to have a drive, one vr6 sounds sweet but two!

Maybe I'm just being picky - but don't they need to be mounted side by side to make a W12?!

Ahh well still a damn impressive bit of work.

now i'm probs gonna be picky and say its a w12 if its a single unit running as one surely?  ie joined as one unit, and not 2 mounted side by side as that would make it twin still
