Twin engine 4wd 5th gen

What a waste of money in my opinion :/

this is going to such a heavy car and won't handle or pull for jobby lol.

Pointless beyond words

That's wicked. Nothing pointless about it. However I'm unsure on the auto tranny.

It was a school project, isn't there a German tuning crowd that do a golf like this with an engine in the front and one in the back, yea the auto box can't be much fun

Still completly pointless in my books..
I appreciate all the work and fabrication.. It's very well done.

But it's not going to drive well especially with two autos lol

I bet my left testical that a few ludes on here will walk all over it

I like that 8-)

A stab in the dark but perhaps using 2 auto boxes was easier than fabricating up a manual shift linkage for 2 boxes at opposite ends of the car? Although presumably you'd have to fabricate something for the auto shifter anyway so who knows...

Still cool though :twisted:

I quite like the look of the exterior weirdly. Maybe it's the side vents or the "bad boy" bonnet I just don't know.

I remember seeing a video of something (perhaps a passat) that had a v8 and a v10 in it (or maybe it was a v6 and a v8, i can't really remember) but they were both autos and it's sounded crazy. Especially as one engine shifted at a different time to the other. Will have to see if I can dig that out for you all :-)

EDIT: It was a VR6 and a W8...and a Jetta https://youtu.be/oT9RJljgtz8

I like the exterior as well.

They should now remove the engine from the front and leave it middle engined rear wheel drive. :idea:

And then loose the auto box for a manual gearbox. :mrgreen:
