    Not as independant engines. Best off just meshing in the 2 engines, doubling up the torque curve and then just making the car AWD. Effectively one engine with twice the power to represent 2 engines.

    Thanks for replying @SixSixSevenSeven,I was thinking of editing the bolide engine anyway,extending it I mean,but I will give it a go with meshing in two engines

    Just asking, how could you fit 2 engines in the Bolide? I know there is some space in the engine compartment, but I doubt if it can fit any engine with more than 8 cylinders.
    Not even the front is possible. The flat nose is too flat to even fit an F4 without most of it sticking out.

    I was thinking the same thing... maybe it could go in the passenger spot like they are in trophy trucks.

    It could have really small electric engine which gets powered when car is moving like the bicycles lights (generator on all wheels)

    You get power from wheels to generate electricity to power the wheels...? that's reducing power

    When the wheels are moving a so the wheels movement generates power.

    It still takes the engine power to move the car. What you are referring to would slow the vehicle down. You are using the engines energy to move the car, recapturing that inefficiently to drive an electric motor inefficiently. This is actually a mechanism that is used as an electronic brake....
