This is at the moment an experimental engine. We have looked into the data and calculations of mating two V10 engines via a common spacer plate at the bases of the two engines. This gives an X20 configuration with the two motors mated together horizontally. Each engine will be linked via dissimilar gears at each end with a torsional vibration damper incorporated. Power is sent via a central output shaft to the clutch and gearbox.

The engine would have ten exhausts – five above & five below per side, twenty exhausts in total. Running up to 10,000 RPM it should sound amazing!

The engine would be wide but it would be extremely low and compact vertically, helping to reduce the centre of gravity once installed in a vehicle.

We have a motor mocked up for evaluation though not yet running. Our intention is to develop this concept engine into a working prototype eventually adapting it to run a turbocharged injection system to maximise the power levels. We have plans to run it in a proposed new supercar being built by one of our sister companies.

The basic specification of the X20 engine is:
