When we saw this video of a Lamborghini Gallardo Tricolore getting beaten by a VW Golf R, we had to find out more. As it turns out, the Golf has received a very special tuning package from German firm HGP, which involves transplanting a 3.6-litre VR6 engine from a Passat R36 into a Mk6 Golf. It's no ordinary VR6, either, it's treated to a gigantic list of modifications including a twin-turbocharger setup. Screen Shot 2014-05-19 at 12.39.34If - like the car that went up against the Gallardo - you spec the most powerful version of the package, the result is a massive 735bhp. To see another HGP R36-converted Golf in action, check out the video below.
