Here's one Volkswagen Bus you wouldn't want to mess around with. It's called the Mental Breakdown and it's the creation of Wayne Allman from the British county of Warwickshire. Of the original 1965 VW model upon which it is based, only the driver's cabin was left intact. Power comes from an 8.4-liter supercharhed Keith Black V8 Hemi unit that runs on methanol and delivers 1,700bhp.
"I have always loved installing powerful engines in the wrong cars", says Allman who will show off the VW dragster model at this week's Essen Motor Show in Germany. Until the show goes live, check out at the photo gallery and a video from this year's test runs on the drag strip.

Damn.
But it's not a VW Bus Dragster, it's a normal dragster with a VW lookalike body
Lame
Well it's a steel VW body thats modified and the chassis was made for it by me ,and it's far from a normal dragster, for some reason people assume it was made from a mint split when in reality it was a scrap
pick up that had fallen in half and a tree had fallen on it , I built it to be what it is , I'm sorry you think it's lame
lame? its awesome i knew vws are better than hondas cuz hondas are boring
What a piece of engineering, unbelievable insight into probably what has to be one of the most imaginative cars I have seen to date!!
Wayne designing building and driving something like this a testament to his design and building skills.
Well done and good luck in racing it in the future.
That is the beer thing I have ever seen!
