The Porsche example suggests it's a reversion. I read once why it fell out of favor, but I don't remember where or why.

One unit weighs 68lb and is rated at 100hp (72hp continuous). Two seems excessive to me, but it occurs to me that you could mount two on either side of the VW Type I (or Subaru) transaxle similar to inboard disk brakes. With 50-250hp through the tranny and 200hp from the electric hybrid (supercapacitors to save weight) it would have supercar power/weight ratio and performance.
