Watch This Twin Engine Opel Calibra From Poland Rip Off 8-second Quarter Mile Times

There’s nothing like the spirit and creativity of hot rodding, especially when that spirit an creativity is to only applied to make a car look good but it is also applied to make a car run good. Such is the case with the nastiest car in Poland, the Opel Calibra known as Tsunami. This thing has two engines, both turbocharged, is all wheel drive, and has run the quarter mile in 8.68 seconds on its best day at the strip. The car is well known in the Eastern Europe area where people love watching it leave the line with smoke coming off of all four tires in vary degrees of thickness and it has been raced at strips all over the area in places like Slovakia as well.

As we have said about a million times here at BangShift, drag racing is one of America’s greatest exports and the proof is in the footage you can find from all over the world that features cars on a drag strip of some form of fashion. In the case of this car it appears most of the strips they use are airport runways. Some of them look better than others but they all provide a basic place for guys to do their thing and that is the bottom line. Notice all the spectators that were at the event as well. This isn’t some isolated little group of people, this is a legitimate thing!

The amount of work into this car is incredible and we’ll provide a link to LOADS of photos where you can see all the chassis fabrication and complete bad-assery that went into making this car a reality. Power comes from a pair of VW R32 engines. These are the weird0 15-degree VR6 engines that look like a straight six but are technically a ver style mill. Either way, there are a duo of turbocharged sixes in this car, two manual transmissions linked together, independent suspension all around, and four Hoosier slicks on the corners. It is a feat of engineering from the highest order and 100% BangShift approved.

The next time you are crying about waiting a day for your parts, think about this dude in Poland who built and eight second car with his brains, hands, and little help from anyone or anything else. Truly, truly cool!

    I like that the saying on his seat roughly translates to \”balls to the wall or dont do it at all\” in polish. That is accurate!
