RE: twin engined audi's

["Dave Eaton" <Dave.Eaton@clear.net.nz>]

with the mtm twin-engined tt, the rear engine is mounted ahead of the
wheels.  the transmissions are, of course, separate but the gear lever works
both boxes.   the comment is that the ems' are linked together as well.

apparently, the eventual plan is apparently to use something similar to the
fiat (alfa/ferrari) sequential gear system.

650hp in a rollerskate should be interesting...

I guess that's it. How where the engines, transmission(s?), and drive
axles linked in those?
