Abstract
An internal combustion engine for vehicle propulsion has a number of cylinders arranged in two parallel planes and connected to two crank shafts within a common engine block. A selectively operable clutch is fitted at at least one of the crank shafts, and a gearing coordinates the output from the two crank shafts. A coupling is provided between the gearing and the output shaft of the engine plant.
