Over the summer Andre Pötsch debuted his crazy 12.0 L twin-engine Lupo. In our previous article Andre was still working on the car. The Lupo is powered by two 6.0 L W12 engines taken from the VW Phaeton. Together the engines produce 888 horsepower and 826 lb-ft of torque. The engine use manual transmissions with shortened bell housings and custom adapters plates.

Two W12s with 444hp each doesn’t make 888hp… it makes 444hp from two engines. Adding engines doesn’t add horsepower. That’s just silly.
you’re kidding, right?
The torque doubles but the horsepower doesn’t.
So when you see a car with twin engines and both are of stock configuration, that car is putting out no more power than it usually does?
Care to explain?
I’m genuinely interested.
That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen posted. Bravo Sir !!! Are you a Mechanical Engineer or Physicist by trade? The Holidays are a time for miracles and you have proven that even people with a bowl of guacamole for a brain can work a keyboard.
End of the year is approaching, it’s clearly a desperate attempt at winning the “dumbest comment of the year award”
A desperate attempt to insult someone? People don’t love you do they ?
Nope. I’m not.
444 fwhp + 444 rwhp = 888 awhp. Simple. Of course, that excludes drivetrain loss.
Everyone is entitled to making a mistake. I read up on the subject and I was totally wrong. No need to be douche rockets trying to be the whittiest guy on the internet. I whole heartedly mean this with all of my being, f*ck each and everyone of you dildozers.
