How could anyone get out a grinder and do that thinking that will be safe?

I don't know why I hate when they build wheels like this so much when I would love them if assembled "normally".

They're ugly as crap, but I assume they are that way to reconcile the Porsche drivetrain track width to the Rabbit body width.

It's a VW drivetrain.  That's a VR6.

Based on the general condition of that one compared to the others, the question might be how hot was is, not how fast was it going.  A nice white hot load transferring heat to the forks, and then using one cherry-red fork to scooch the load into the oven or cooling rack a bit further...

Ahhh. I saw the Porsche valve covers and went with that. That's just stupid, then.

Even better, those aren't valve covers, just a noise cover.  You can see the spark plug wires peeking out from between the intake runners, there is only one valve cover and it's under that.

 

Arguably, Porsche probably made way more VR6 engined Cayennes than VW made VR6 powered Golf/Jetta/Passats.
