So next time don't follow others, simply make your own ideas to do something different. By doing this, it's possible to reach your goals in life.

Bimotor Scirocco: Dual-Engined Volkswagen

Back in the day, supposedly the early 80s Volkswagen engineers were trying to come out with dual engined sporty hatchback. The Bimotor Scirocco was the answer, 1.7-liter engines in the front and back, making 360 horsepower allowing the Bimotor Scirocco to go 0-60mph in around 4 seconds. Volkswagen ended up only producing two working models.

Each engine had its own transmission and drove its closest axle independently. While it would of been a really cool and unique car to have, Volkswagen obviously realized it wasn't very economical and easy to produce. I can't imagine the maintenance on a two engined car, one engine is enough for me!

Shinari Concept Car Represents Mazda’s Future

Mazda has rethought its plan for the future and has chose to go with the design language seen in the Shinari concept car. The Concept car was last seen at the Los Angeles auto show. The Shinari look will begin to appear on production vehicles within two years, said Derek Jenkins, design director for Mazda North American Operations. Before this direct statement from Mazda just this past week, for four years they were hyping up the looks of the Nagare concept, sporting more of a curvy and fluid design. Personally I think both the concepts looked sick, while the Shinari looks more Mazda like, it would of been fun to see Mazda come out with a different kind of look like the Shinari.
