Two Alfa Romeo engines at that.


As an entirely Scuderia Ferrari venture, two Bi-Motore Alfa Romeos were built in less than four months at Modena in 1935, designed by Luigi Bazzi, and intended for formula libre races on very fast tracks and for record breaking. These cars each had a lengthened P3 chassis, with one P3 engine in the normal place, and the other in the tail behind the driver, who sat on top of three speed gearbox between the engines. front suspension was Dubonnet, the rear axle was jointed in the middle and located by the radius rods, with semi-elliptic springs. One car built for Nuvolari had two 3.2 litre engines and the other built for Chiron had two 2.9 litre engines.

 

I do not know the existence of dragstrip in Italy, here runs in closed airports, like Rivanazzano.

Yes, the Fiat Turbina is the first turbine powered car in europe.
From wikipedia; "In 1954 Fiat was the first car manufacturer in Europe to introduce a car propelled by a gas turbine. The project took a long period of planning, studies began in 1948 and ended with a track test in 1954 on the track of the Lingotto. The engine had two compressor stages, one turbine stage, power turbine was single stage with a geared reduction. The declared power was 300 hp (220 kW) at 22.000 rpm, and the estimated top speed was approximately 250 km/h (155 mph)."

Exactly

Thanks
