duelie

Duelie refers to a type of vehicle, specifically a car, that has been modified with two engines. This modification is typically done to increase the power and performance of the vehicle, often for drag racing or other specialized automotive events. The concept of a dual-engine car is not new, with various iterations appearing throughout automotive history.

The primary purpose of installing a second engine is to generate more horsepower and torque than a single engine can provide. This often results in significantly improved acceleration and top speed capabilities. However, such modifications are complex and require extensive engineering to ensure the engines work in sync and that the vehicle's chassis and drivetrain can handle the increased power.

Duelies are not common in everyday road vehicles due to the significant costs, technical challenges, and potential legal restrictions associated with such powerful and modified cars. They are more often found in specialized racing environments where performance is the paramount concern. The term "duelie" itself is informal and often used within automotive enthusiast communities to describe these unique vehicles.
