The high center of gravity has to be a killer. Wonder what it has under the hood - or in the back ?? Any one have any info on the running gear and engine ?

I've seen videos of this VW before including one showing its construction. Its a Porsche 993 engine and chassis topped by a VW bus body. It has 4 seats and is used as a tour bus to take people around the track at speed. If memory serves me, Its at the Spa Francorchamps track. Cool ride!!!!
