(OP)
It's good to see innovation and outside-the-box thinking is still alive. I think. Harvette or Corvley?

RE: Alternative Drive Trains
One Harley motor is bad enough. Why join two?
I can think of several motors that can hit 350 HP at probably lower weight and much better reliability.
RE: Alternative Drive Trains
As to why they use a pair of V twins, a rational excuse would be that it gives them a short engine/transaxle combination if they are insistent on having a longitudinal gearbox. I'm not sure which FWD transmissions can handle 350 bhp, but that would seem to me to be a better approach.
but somehow I don't think that is the reason!

Explains why the front suspension looks like it came right off a Formula Atlantic.
There seems to be no rear chasis at all in the first picture on Fabrico's link.
