The concept has been used before to create one of the greatest race engines ever the Cosworth DFV. It was based around heads very similar to the FVA, with two of them bolted onto a V8.

But the powertec v8 looks nice and light, and it must be quite good cos a radical with one of these engines holds the current lap record of the Nordschliffe Nurburgring! A porsche now holds the record I thought :S Alex AlexF |

Well i tell you its amazing the v8 held together for a full lap of the Nordschliffe!!!! from my experience the reliability of the 4 cylinder unit in a radical is poor and the V8's even worse and expensive to put right again. Nice idea though and they sound and look nice. |

The yellow and black porsche held the record for about to weeks until a guy called Michael vergers took it in his radical sr8, that was the last time i checked. |

I heard Dave Kimberly was thinking about something along these lines for Mini 50, don't know if it's him or not. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:
