That's hella cool. My daily driver is a VR6 Jetta, and I've always thought what a great engine it would be if only it drove the rear wheels instead of the front. A locost-type vehicle with transverse VR6-T in the back is one vehicle I'd love to build, given the time and money.
Old man up the street built a Northstar powered Fiero a few years back. That was incredible!

Well until about 20 minutes ago the only thing I knew about VR6 was its a VW, and has 6 cylinders.. Found a pretty neat site about the deign and makeup of the motor. Technically, according to them, its still a V6
just with a 15 degree V.
Pretty incredible design! Now if we could only get a small displacement VR8, or VR12..![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
How about a DoD VR12 with 2 turbochargers... That'd be one smooth operator!

If you look at the Audi AWD tranny there are half-shaft outputs for the front wheels mid-way down the casing.
