A v-twin motorcycle engine, 100 to 140 cubic inches (1600 cc to 2300 cc) is mounted longitudinally in a tubular chassis behind dual seats. A chain drive is mounted to the crankshaft that further drives a clutch device. A transmission/transfer unit is mounted in front of and below the engine and receives a clutch output shaft. The transfer case has two output drive shafts, one to a front differential and the other to a rear differential located under the engine. The differentials each have two shafts that drive the four wheels. The wheels have disk brakes and typical independent suspension for driven wheels of such types of vehicles. The present invention provides an off road, sports utility vehicle having the power between an ATV and a 4 cylinder (VW) engine. Further an adjustable engine mount allows for the selection of different engines.
