I was making kind of a joke to someone and I told them that I was going to put one motor in the front and in the back of the car! He told that it's possible! That with a computer that controls the engines it could be done! Is it possible?

yes it is, but will be very expensive having custom parts made in order for it to work. Would be an extreme amount of work in order to make it work right

The problem in the past was with syncronizing the throttles front to rear and shifting exactly at the same time. Modern Electronics and electric throttle controls that problem would be somewhat solved today. Still just small differences in front to back motor power output and speed would upset the chassis.

it's possible, i mean it's really possible...
the question is this, what's the significance of the other motor? since FR or MR chassis-type cars can already run so fast even though there is only one motor present, the other motor would be...umm...not that significant...
if you want, you could put another motor that separates water into hydrogen and hydroxide fast so you could build a water-proppeled car... puting so many hydrogen in your combustion block will give big power to your car, so powerful it might explode...

I saw an Audi TT with two motors on the BBC TV program Top Gear a few years ago - one driving the front wheels and one the rear.

Yeap it has been done They had a couple of them running in drag races at one time in exhibition runs at one time back in the late sixties and early seventies.

It has already been don, Jeep did it, they put the design into production and sold them for quite a large sum of money. not many were sold, so jeep gave it away and stopped production.
