True so very true! ceramic brake pads will be awesome on our roads, wont it!

bhpians : i don't know where i saw this, but i remember i saw a audi TT with dual engines, yes Engine1 & Engine2.
wont ceramic brake pads take longer time to heat up and work effectively. with our kind of brakeing required you would be practically running with mo brakes.
are you serious audi TT running on two engines. man that car would be a beast on the roads.

I will have to vouch for this. I read about this on Autoblog. Some german tuning company actually put an engine in the rear seat of the new TT in addition to the existing engine to make it an all wheel drive 10 second car or something on similar lines. I also read about a VW Polo GTi or whatever its turbocharged version is called was modified by a mad german man. He said that the the car lacked power. He put a 3.2 V6 up front which wouldn't fit under the hood. So there's a cut-out now and since its so front heavy he put another engine in the back as well to balance the weight and obviously boost the power and what an IDIOT he must be.

come to think of it one would do just fine but kya kare yeh dil mange more . when you buy something expensive and exotic to drive, i'm sure you can manage for the fuel.

this is a porsche 911 and it does have reasonable place for an adult. it must be a tight squeeze but for the picture he must have put on a brave front.
