Ladies and gentlemen drag racers, we're back with yet another adventure delivered by Boba Motoring. You know, the small Germa aftermarket developer that likes to deliver Mk I and MK II Golf rockets. This time around, we're here to talk about the performance of the latter.
The Volkswagen is the perfect sleeper, as there are almost no visual clues towards the otherworldly figures it can deliver.
The engine compartment is populated by a two-liter turbo, a 16V ABF motor that packs a custom turbocharger supplied by Extreme Tuners. With the help of a ton of supporting mods, the unit delivers north of 1,200 ponies.
Now, you might wonder how all the muscle reaches the road and we have to mention that the rest of the car's tech setup doesn't dissapoint.
The motor works with an 02E DSG six-speed dual-clutch tranny, while further down the power line we find a Haldex 4Motion system.
A friend of the scales - this is how one might label the Golf we have here and thats because the thing weigs in at 1,160 kg.
And the car can certainly put on a show, as demonstrated by its velocity numbers. For instance, the 0 to 100 km/h sprint is covered in 1.66 seconds, while the 0 to 200 km/h sprint takes 4.4 seconds and the 0 to 250 km/h plan is completed in 6.71 seconds. As for the maximum velocity, this compact toy can go above 340 km/h.
Then there's the quarter-mile might that brought us here. The German toy can play the 1,320 feet game in 8.26 secondsa at 274.3 mph.
The 1/4-mile numbers above have brought multiple accolades to the vehicle. To be more precise, this is the world's quickest 4Motion Vee-Dub, as well as being the quickest DSG VW and quickest Golf out there.
If you're willing to check out the compact monster in action, you should know that the clip below shows it doing its thing in the UK, at the Santa Pod Raceway.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
