I've seen quite a few of these done up to gnarly extremes.

[Van Westervelt]

Mmmmmm, gotta love the split windows.

This is oooold news. It's a 993 turbo chassis with a T1 Bus shell. Here's my personal favorite (wait for it):

Further proof that it's not the car, it's the driver.

I'm assuming this is a joke?

actually the only thing VW Microbus about this thing is the outer skin. The bus has been cut into 4 sections chopped about a foot shorter and a foot wider then tube framing the chassis. It is very extreme.

With that said I have taken my touareg on the track and chased down vipers in the solo group, getting a stock V8 Touareg to oversteer, yes I appreciate that you understand a shitty driver in great car is still a shitty driver, but a hero in a shitty car will still struggle to keep up with a shitty driver in a great car.

I love that thing. So bad ass.

I wish I could have seen the faces on the people getting chased down by this thing.

Yeah, we're talking modified (500+hp) 993 turbo motor, brakes, suspension and possibly AWD system, all in a package most likely lighter than a 993 turbo. The GT3 is a great track car, but amongst the two of them the superbus is likely quicker.

[BlackSpeed66]

That is awesome!

it is actually not a 993 chassis at all. it is a 993 drivetrain on a reinforced microbus chassis that has been chopped and sectioned and......
the link below will give you photos of the build.
