554 WHP VW Jetta Proves Its Drag Racing Prowess

We have to admit this is the very first 554 wheel horsepower VW Jetta we’ve ever seen. She’s been nicknamed “Project Madonna” and started out as a 2012 MkVI Jetta GLI.
The TSI turbo engine has been tuned to the point where it makes more power than some Lamborghinis. Imagine that – a Jetta outpowering a Lambo, what has the world come to!

Since all the power still goes to the front wheels, the stock rim+tire combo has been swapped for a set of ultra-sticky drag radials that barely fit the cow.

If you think an overpowered Jetta is for you, than you should contact USP Motorsports and build yourself one of these sleepers.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
