This 1000bhp Mk1 Golf Is The Most Insane Car You'll See All Day

What you see here is an insane 1000bhp Mark 1 Volkswagen Golf. This crazy dragster is brought to you by '16Vampir', the man who's already known for transforming Golfs into Veyron-spanking drag weapons.

This new Mk1 project produces 1013bhp to be exact, thanks to a huge Garrett turbocharger bolted to a VW 1.8-litre engine. It also has all-wheel drive and a modern DSG gearbox, which helps it achieve a mind-blowing 0-62mph time of around 2 seconds.

16Vampir's other rapid Golf (video 2) is a MkII that boasts similar performance figures and the ability to smash out the quarter mile in 8 seconds. The way it launches is brutal, though it looks fairly unstable at high speeds - those old Golfs weren't exactly designed with 180mph speeds in mind...
