I want to do similar to the Jetta (once I buy one).

Toyota supras and Ford mustangs have IRS rear diffs and are about the right size as well as readily available in junk yards.
I plan to do one that way.

I plan on using a 240V 10HP AC motor and a VFD, but I'm comfortable with electronic controls.
