This is by far the craziest VW Bus (Transporter) conversion that we've ever heard about. A company in Germany called "TH Automobile" is the one responsible for the VW - Porsche hybrid Transporter that's fitted with a rear-mounted Porsche 911 Turbo derived 3.6-liter engine delivering 420 PS. But wait, that's not the only thing that TH Automobile borrowed from Porsche; so is the all-wheel-drive system from the 996! And if that's not enough, the German company can install a 150 PS VW turbodiesel engine up front, raising total output to 570 PS!
With the Porsche 911 Turbo engine alone, the AWD Transporter can sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.1 seconds while top speed is in excess of 168 mph - 270 km/h. The conversion also includes 6-caliper rear brakes and a new suspension set up
