I remember the Mosler MT 900 well. Somewhere at sometime, I watched it race.

The Caddy is new to me. In the article, it says, "Before the MT900" then shows the Caddy. So it must have preceded the Supercar MT900.

*The Caddy is called, "The Twinstar". It had TWO Chevy v-8's in that bad boy!!

...that's 5 too many.    Obviously, "looks"  was not the goal, it was all about the engineering - I get it - but surely there could've been a better way, rip out the seats, use a smaller rear engine, something, anything....    😲 😲        Certainly one I've never heard about; it's way too extreme for me.   😬 😬 😬
