Unbelievable! 920 PS from 1.8 liters... 0-100 2.3, 0-200 5.4... Mad! ;D
I wondered the engine is OK after ride. I'd expect it blow!
Why would anyone bother getting Veyron, when you can create something like this from the Golf?
BTW, it liked the exterior of this monsterous Golf. :)

Oh yes! Oh yes! Such a magnificent piece of super-engineering is this car! Being one of the most powerful cars in the world, it usually eats vipers and corvettes for dinner! What a beast!!!

No. These have atmospheric engines - it even says that on this page "4cyl 16V n/a". As far as I know, forced induction was introduced only starting from 4th generation.

are these cars turbo charged?, i tried searching for specs for it. it says GTI so im assuming it is.

Can I add the 139 PS version and the Jetta GT (also 139 PS)?

I had the early (small bumpers) 16v and trust me it's got to be one of the best hot hatches ever, sounds amazing goes well level on the corners, and it's 139bhp felt like much more
added Range Rover Velar D300
added Audi Q7 50 TDI
...and its 2020, if I have a choice of purchase I prefer the N/A ...
