Saw this on VanList tonight! Gordon Tronson who was on Counting Cars with Danny a couple of times is preparing an EPup in his "style" of hot rods with multiple engines for the 2015 SEMA show. Bad A$$!!! Hope he has a Great Braking System!!!

You have to love it when people have the money to squander on something so cool

This Guy is a mechanical genius! It's amazing how he can get 4 engines to work in unison. He brings Hot Wheels to life!

Multipule engines have been done since the 50's in america hot rodding! Maybe even earlier? I remember tommy ivo's dragster being actually run @ some drag strips. seems also that Mickey Thompson did a 4 engine Buick powered one & ran @ Bonneville maybe at just over 400 mph??

I just thought it was cool to see an EPup with 4 engines...Some guys just have enough time and money to do things you don't ordinarily expect to see... I wonder if Gordon is sponsored by someone, like maybe Custom Chrome, Inc as shown in one of the pics or if he's just a rich Aussie with plenty of time and money... 
And yes, I do remember TV Tommy Ivo (Amazing stuff!!!)
Mickey Thompson and any of these guys who go that fast in a car gotta have nerves of steel!!!
