This is crazy, dual engine 4wd VW
 

This thing has two of everything, 2 motor, 2 trans, 2 ECU, etc.... 800hp each motor, 1/4 mile 9.06 sec at 156 mph at Denver.

There's another mid-80s Rabbit with the same thing out there.
It has been around a few decades.

Do a search on Youtube vid for a freeway pass.
A Porsche and a Mitsubishi(? I think) are accelerating 'briskly' when out of nowhere this little box bullet screams by them both like they are standing still.

Crazy engineering! I love it.

MK3 style ;)

My first reaction was that 1600 hp, 4wd, slicks on all corners, and roughly 2500 lubs would do allot better than nine seconds.
What am I missing?
Aero?

My brother wants to build one like that. Those cars are cheap now and there is piles of them at the junk yards. Even with semi stock engines it would fly.

I wondered the same thing.

Going 9s is not as easy as it looks. Ive spent a lot of time at the strip.
Also, the Denver track is high altitude and that just kills power

The factory itself has done a handful of twin-engine cars.

I thought the same thing, but it is turbocharged which suffers much less at altitude than a naturally aspirated motor.
