Andi also enjoys building powerful vans. Take for example his 2007 Volkswagen Transporter (T5) making 832 hp (611 kW) and 850 Nm (626 lb-ft) of torque. The van accomplishes this thanks to a 4.2 L FSI V8 from an Audi RS4 (B7) paired with two turbochargers. Power is sent to all four wheels by an Audi six-speed manual transmission and Quattro AWD drivetrain. You can watch all the project\u2019s progress in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uHo2_JQKlBw&#038;list=PLY8be5C8RL_OyZ9wKxxArTci0h2g8x6cT\">build playlist<\/a>.
