Racers are really good at dreaming up ways to go super fast at the dragstrip, and Colorado native Bruce Morehouse took being creative to a new level when he stuffed a pair of engines into his 1995 Volkswagen Golf. This German wrecking machine’s twin VR6 engines are pumping out over 1,000 horsepower each and have combined their output to push the Golf into the 7-second zone.

There is no playbook on how to build a twin-engine Golf, so Morehouse invented his own over the course of the three years it took to build the Volkswagen. When the car was complete, Morehouse then had to deal with the growing pains of keeping the car alive. That toll was paid with plenty of broken parts and time spent in the shop re-engineering things after the carnage occurred at the track.

The Golf is powered by a pair of 12-valve Volkswagen VR6 engines. The front engine measures 2.5 liters and makes around 1,060 horsepower at full song. A 3.0-liter sized engine lives in the rear and makes 1,200 horsepower when it’s fully wound up. Morehouse controls each engine with a FuelTech ECU.

One of the cool features of the Golf is how Morehouse has set up the transmissions. A pair of KAPS sequential gearboxes are matched to the engines and each is shifted by its own air shifter. This is all run through the FuelTech ECU to make sure each engine is shifted at precisely the right time. The system works well and allowed Morehouse to rip off a personal best of 7.91 at 187 MPH during TX2K22.

1320Video did an outstanding job documenting Morehouse’s journey during TX2K, and you’ll want to watch the entire video to see just how gnarly this car can be when both engines are laying down the power.
