Ever popped the hood of your prized project car and felt a twinge of worry over the intricacies of its engineering? Brace yourself because, as it turns out, we've all been living in the lap of simplicity compared to what Team Edlinger has unleashed.

Prepare to be mind-blown by the jaw-dropping spectacle above – behold the hillclimbing masterpiece from Team Edlinger. It may wear the skin of a BMW i8 with its sleek carbon fiber body, but don't be fooled; under the hood lies a mesmerizing twist. Instead of the conventional three-cylinder hybrid setup, this beast boasts not one, not two, but four 999cc BMW superbike engines.

Four engines, each with its own clutch and gearbox, and each dedicated to powering a single wheel. Much like the finesse of a quad-motor EV, this marvel allows precise control over torque distribution at all times. But hold your horses; unlike any quad-motor EV you've seen, this i8 promises an auditory feast with its thunderous roar.

David Edlinger spills the beans, “The engines rev up to a jaw-dropping 14,800rpm, and all exhaust pipes converge into a single tailpipe without any muffler.” Can you imagine the symphony of power this concoction will create? We can't wait to experience the auditory adrenaline rush.

Intriguingly, each engine boasts its own control unit, fostering seamless communication among the four powerhouses to ensure optimum driveability and prompt failure detection. The current power output stands at an awe-inspiring 868bhp, but hold on to your seats – Edlinger hints at reintroducing hybrid power, promising an even mightier steed in the near future.

Edlinger, reflecting on their previous hillclimb marvel (an E30 BMW 320i graced with an Indycar V8), states, “As our last car was quite unique, we wanted to create something even more special.”

Consider the mission accomplished. Get ready for a wild ride into the world of automotive innovation and pure, unadulterated power!
