This Supersized Lada With Two Engines Can Drift
It'll also carry all your friends.
Leave it to Garage 54 to somehow create something more radical than its EV "engine" made from 50 cordless drills, but the channel has done it. After showing how it combined two 1.6-liter engines to power one supersized Lada, the channel uploaded another video demonstrating the car's handling capabilities—and it can drift.
However, before the crew took the project for its thrilling validation test, they had to craft a custom exhaust and dashboard. It might not be fancy, but it has a chandelier, push-button start, oversized chairs and couches for seats, and switchgear for the lights. The video shows the comically large sedan moving under its own power with some gusto.
While it's too slow for public roads—and would likely begin to disintegrate at highway speeds—it does have enough power to kick the rear wheels loose on some snow. It won't win any rally races or drift competitions, but it's still an admirable feat for something large and homemade.
The car didn't fall apart in the brief test, and it's unclear how fast it will go, but it reached nearly 20 miles per hour in one run. That's not safe nor fast enough to be legal, but the car is still pretty cool. It's a reminder that you can build something ridiculous with enough time and skill.
