The bizarre double-ended car that can be driven forward and back at the same time

An Indonesian mechanic spent six months created the two-headed Toyota that has double engines, pedals, gears and steering wheel

THIS bizarre two-faced car has been turning heads of confused onlookers - but has now been banned by police.

The two-headed Toyota is the brainchild of 71-year-old Indonesian mechanic who spent six months creating the unusual motor.

Roni Gunawan from Bandung in Indonesia's West Java Province split two Toyota Limbo cars in half before welding them back together to create the mirror image.

The gleaming orange saloon now has two engines, two steering wheels, two pedals, two gear sets and a single gas tank.

Cleverly, it's been designed so it can be driven simultaneously by two drivers.

Roni said: "It took me six months to create this unique car."

"I took help of ten workers to cut two Toyota Limbo cars at the centre and welded the two heads and transformed them into his wonderful car.

"I always wanted to design something unique.

"It was after months of hard labour and fineness that we were able to create this beautiful car."

"I'm excited to have designed such a unique car."

 Within a few hours of it being on the road, cops seized it for breaking the law

But the joy didn't last long - within a few hours it was taken by cops for violating traffic rules.

Senior traffic police officer, Hilman Rawalasi said: "The car violates the Indonesian traffic rules.

"It has violated two articles of the 2009 law on vehicle roadworthiness, including a requirement that cars feature all of the proper safety signals.

"The vehicle does not have a reverse light and the dimensions of the vehicle are not appropriate.

"The owner had not taken the license to change the colour or the shape of the vehicles before designing this car.

"Also, the car has two number plates and even there are two different vehicle registration numbers as well.

"We have handed over the car back to its owner after a letter of agreement was signed that he will not bring it on road again."
