The Model O was Phil Irving's road-going development of the supercharged Roarer racer: a twin with a separate counter-rotating crankshaft for each cylinder, but unsupercharged. Shaft final drive and a multi-plate clutch were planned, and the bore was enlarged so parts could be shared with the KSS and KTT. Only a single prototype was built and it survives in a private collection.
