I was watching top gear and saw a vw golf with a 12 cylinder. It was a w12 type engine 4 cylinders deep. I think that might make a cool spider.

Re: New Engine Idea
Shoot - I thought it looked like fun! With that much power, who cares about handling?
Re: New Engine Idea
I enjoy how a Spider handles... It's much of the reason I own one.
If you want raw power, I'd suggest a muscle car.
That's just me though.

I'd like a Hayabusa X1/9
1.4L 171 HP, a couple hundred pounds lighter than a standard X, sequential gearbox.
A human-sized slot car.
