It should sound like a motorcycle. It's two 1000cc bike engines on a common crankcase. Yamaha YZF1000 engines, the article said. This kind of thing is remarkably common in the UK, where they have a number of small displacement racing classes with very liberal rules. The original bike engines in stock form probably make 150-180hp, so the idea that two of them would make 340hp isn't too surprising. The powerband on a typical literbike now starts at 6-7k and really goes to town above 9k. There's a reason most bikes have six-speed gearboxes...
