Yep thats the two cylinder prototype. There are pictures of it fully assembled in Jon Pressnell's book. It was on ebay back in September.

It makes me wonder how they did the gearbox, its not as thought there's a huge amount of spare space in a 4 cylinder Mini gearbox, but if you chopped 2 cylinders worth out of the middle it would be pretty short. Tim |

IMO they cut it a bit too short- should have left another lung on it.

but then the V6 is a thought i had years ago (just out of school) & figured it wouldn`t be too hard to do, nice quad-cam turbo injected alloy V6 would be just right i reckon
oops, now i`m going off the 2-cyl topic (again) :-0 |

We think 850's are slow these days. Imagine what a slug a two cylinder 500cc Mini would be.

What about the Fiat TwinAir engine, gets a 900-odd kgs Fiat 0-62 in 11 secs with 84 bhp, top speed 173 kmh. Wonder how that would go in a mini that's 30% lighter? |
