This tuned 1997 Volkswagen Golf 3 (Mk3) features a 3.0-litre VR6 engine that uses turbocharging to achieve this massive 800HP output, the results were truly impressive as the 13 years old German hatch managed to reach a maximum speed of 208.1 mph on a drag strip.
The 800HP Volkswagen Golf 3 GTI was built by Dubsquared and T1 Race Development and is featured in this month issue of the eurotuner Magazine.

Very impressive? what was done to the tranny?

 

nothing... stock gearing with larger tires and extended RPM range...

they do bring spare transmisions though, just in case...

 

I want one as a daily driver.....

 

that is pretty impressive

 

I wish I could have gotten my MK3 to 800HP. That looks like fun.

 

i would need a change of pants. 200+ in a mk3... i might do it

 

that was nuts! haha very nice

 

hahah
yeah i saw this on eurotuner and its an amazing car
would be great to hear that thing in person

 

what gears is this running?

 

stock gearing... just larger tires and an extended RPM range

 

ok then is it a 02a tranny with a longer 5th? like tdi 5th?

 

Stock box for sure... not sure about tdi 5th...

I'll see them in a few weeks at the next running of the Texas Mile. I'll ask.

 

Wow - now that's a pocket rocket!!!!
