2 VR6 lumps. If it had an actual W12 in a Lupo I would of been impressed.
-
but you're not impressed by two vr6's in a lupo? :huh:
-
its a mental prospect.... but in reality it is money wasted.
Im really not a fan of cars like this tbh... they are just pointless... like a lupo will handle with 2 VR6's in it, any one with a charged lupo GTI will probably be quicker on a country road and probably a track for that matter and will have spent bugger all compared to this guy...
fair play to him for doing it all by himself though

Nah. Been quite a few cars with twin engine setups. I appreciate the engineering involved but a W12 would of been impressive. The logistics of putting something like that in a car that small are crazy. They only just managed to get it in a Golf and make it work, just. And it is an amazing engine :smiley:
-
i see where you're coming from but surely 2 relatively large engines in a car that small is by no means a small feat?
-
the build thread is somewhere on edition 38, i read it a few days ago, and honestly, even if it doesnt handle well or go that fast (which honestly i think it probbaly will be reletivly quick) who cares, you know anyone else with a twin vr6 lupo? no? well, that makes it a one off, and that makes it special.
i think this guy has put alot of effort into it (obviously) and will get alot mroe out of it, than someone simply whacking a charger or whatever onto a lupo gti.
and seriously, what the hell are you doing looking on maxpower website daniel-1986? its just wrong.

Theres a bloke at the moment stuffing a hayabusa engine in the back of a lupo and stickin carbon front wings and bonnet on it , when its done it should shift a touch

Like the haybusa mk 1 then?
An that lupos nuts, remember seeing the build thread before he put the engines in an someone was like "that car will be really slow because of the weight of the 2 Engines"
Sorry twit..... 2 x VR6 in lupo = pretty nipppy in my eyes, bet it will doughnut a treat an all!
-
Maybe I'm just being picky - but don't they need to be mounted side by side to make a W12?!
Ahh well still a damn impressive bit of work.

no its more like the Z cars minis in contruction, the busa MK1 was longitude mounted with a rear diff and if im honest looked like it was sitting too high , went like stink tho

i only get out of bed for at least four vr6 lumps in a lupo, now let me get back to sleep. :grin:
-
amazing car, just badly named by maxpower!!

Epic build thread:

Clever stuff, I love the twin rev counters in the binacle.

would love to have a drive, one vr6 sounds sweet but two! :shocked: :drool:

Ahh well still a damn impressive bit of work.
now i'm probs gonna be picky and say its a w12 if its a single unit running as one surely? ie joined as one unit, and not 2 mounted side by side as that would make it twin still
-
hate lupos but thats an amazing feat, credit where its due....
-
Tis crazy that loop I remember reading the build thread a bit back, those fuel tanks will get him about half a mile lol
-
is it just me , but surly this will drive very badly , the 2 engines would need to produce the same amount of power at the same time , or else one would drag or pull the other ? and vise versa , im no engineer though!
as said its an amazing project and hats off to the guy for attemping it !
