Bugger. He must have bought the engine I had on my eBay watch list. :angry: Still, I've still got a chance on an Audi 5.0 V10. :D That's going to be some angle on those driveshafts to reach the hubs. Not sure about the way he's extended the subframe either. 4 lengths of threaded bar. :lol: There truly are some proper mentalists out there. Imnotworthy

Theres a lot of chin stroking debate to be had about balance etc but ultimately that is insane and brilliant in equal measure!

What a plonker! Surely there are easier ways to get 500 BHP! Why butcher an Elise? Why not just weld a tube chassis?

Yeah I tend to agree, it's all about the fact he is doing something completely bizarre and random but yet it's genius!

He could probably avoid stretching the chassis all together (although thats maybe not what he wants) by using the Audi 5.2 V10 and the latest generation B8-chassis FWD gearboxes.. Although the M5 V10 is undoubtedly a beast! Why the hell Porsche rear suspension??
