This beast is still in the build stage but sits on aircraft tyres and has a 4.2 litre 450hp V twin motor (two cylinders of an aircraft radial engine). Just look at the madness in this man's eyes....." NA 4.2 with 450 hp? mmmmmm.......... No other info sorry!

Luckys V-twin was the front 2 cylinders from the engine out of a P51 Mustang WW2 fighterplane, He ran 2 drive chains to the rear wheel on the 1 side, He said that the torque of the twin would snap a single chain, If i'm remembering correctly, He was going testing on the Nullabore plain HWY, Hoped the drive chain would hold as it would take his leg off, lol.
