I remember years ago they had one with two Countach engines in it. It was back when Miami Vice was making Scarab a lot of publicity. God I thought that thing was sweet.

Each one of those engines produced a third of each of those ;)

:eek:


I don’t want the trouble of keeping my boat in the water. I’ll stick to land if that’s OK.
