Volkswagen made the Golf so that millions of drivers can just drive to work safely and economically. But some people just want to see the world burn and be transformed into a cyberpunk racing game simulator.
The Mk7 generation of the Golf just went out of production in Europe, and we're going to miss it, particularly the GTI. Like almost every German hatchback before it, we initially hated the design back when it came out in 2012, but it's grown on us and shows huge potential in the aftermarket/tuning department.

We already have a Rocket Bunny body kit for the car, shown in 2015 and used well by Vossen Wheels for a twin projects two years later. However, we don't want the Pandem, but a full Pandemic, and that's what this crazy rendering by Khyzyl Saleem offers.

It looks like it belongs in the cyberpunk universe, but that's to be expected, since it's part of the LTO brand. But unlike the artist's famous E30 Bimmer that got constructed for last year's SEMA show, this has a hint of rear-engined layout too.

The widebody kit is one of the boldest we've seen, even in the 3D rendering world. Both the front and the rear have massive extensions that resemble everything from the flying buttresses on the Ford GT to race cars of old.

Being purely digital, this Golf doesn't have an engine, but the artist now thinks a 4-rotor turbo would be suitably crazy. And while a Golf with the engine at the back sounds strange, it's really not in the world of racing. Plus, JP Performance (Germany's most famous tuning personality) built a GTI with a turbo R32 in the front and some kind of KERS at the rear.

Our favorite cyber-view of the build is from the back, where the Golf 7 receives unreal spoilers, wafer-thin lights and excessive amounts of exposed tire.
