Never saw that. I did see a magazine crank out a Honda Civic with dual engines. Then they decided that wasn't enough go, so they did it again, but with Accord engines. Crazy. Can you say Polar Moment of Inertia? I knew that you could.

Mosler - the guy that makes the Consulier - made a Caddy with two engines, and some guy did a Hyundai Tiburon (!?) with two, for Sport Compact Car magazine. He won the burnout contest by a wide, wide margin: rear engine in reverse, front engine in forward, and pirouette slowly across the tarmac in a cloud of tire smoke. Made for weird video too.
