Right of the top of my head a way to do it is get two 2-rotor engines, 12a, 13b, etc. get two fwd transmissions (automatics might be easier to link together, as far as controlling them goes) find a way to mate the rotaries to the tranny's. One engine an tranny is in the front of the car with steering, the other engine an tranny is in the rear. Control is used with throttle cables, cables can be used with the auto tranny's, 1 gas tank with maybe 2 fuel pumps, tune the engines the way you want, oh the possibility are endless.
You could set it up where one engine is running at times or have both running at times. It could be rwd, fwd, or awd. And the car will have 50/50 weight distribution.
Great Idea! If only I would attempt it.

That's been done before; by putting one of the trannys in drive and one in reverse, a car setup like this won a burnout competition I was at. It was fairly awesome, watching him just sort of rotate in a circle while the wheels turned against each other.
