front-side view of a Volkswagen Type 2 T1

Misha Charoudin loves driving special vehicles at the Nürburgring. He was recently treated with a very unique Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) owned by Isakhatanmaa. The classic van is powered by a 3.0 L Porsche flat-six increased to 3.8 liters. The motor’s 400 hp (294 kW) is transmitted to the rear wheels through a G50 five-speed manual transaxle. The van’s handling is improved thanks to 911 front and rear suspension assisted by KW coilovers. They also dropped a lot of weight with a carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber seats, and holes drilled everywhere. Listen to Misha give his impressions of driving the unique vehicle in the video.
