    I agree.
    There's even more photos @https://twitter.com/DiegoMaino/media

    It shows the floor has been cut to make room for the 4wd drive-train.
    Also better pic from the engine is found there. Can't figure out where it is from.

    EDIT: Engine seems to be one of these: http://www.cosworth.com/products/cra...ratec-engines/

    Looks like they are just swapping in the entire engine/transmission/radiator from another race car into the Mirage. Which explains the already beat up radiator.
