wow, look at that thing...

There's only one engine, and it's in the front. It's a 5-cylinder turbo Audi engine if I remember correctly. It took up too much space though, so they moved all the cooling equipement (etc) to the rear (fed by a large roof scoop).

The license number is funny: 2FST4U. Sounds like: Too Fast, STF^.

[R34GTR]

it supposed to be 2 fast 4 you,

Egg Nog you're right. The Golf is powered by the famous inline 5-cylinder from Audi. The same engine was used in their rally cars. A intresting thing is that the tuner, Hans Dahlbäck, has god connections with some Audi guys. A proof of that is that the car uses the same gearbox as the car Audi used when they competed in IMSA. The power of the car was never really tested apart from one time on a rolling testbed (don't know if it's the correct word, in swedish it's "rulland landsväg"). The car never reached its peak power because of the fact that the wheels started spinning over 5,500 rpm. A clue is that the engine gave 927 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm (683.63 ft/lb).

There are many Golf twin engines around the world.

The "official" Pikes Peak one for a start ...

And how about this one .....

There's a blue double-engined Golf that does the rounds in Britain, it's got 2 VR6s in it, 0-60 in 3.1, top speed was 175mph+ (the oil pipe broke on it before they could do anymore )
