9.800RPM VW Golf Mk1 STW || Onboard 307Hp/700Kg FWD Monster

Egidio Pisano drives one of the most spectacular units of the Classic Golf Mk1. Tuned by Minichberger, it is nowadays powered by a dry sumped 2.0L Naturally Aspirated powerplant built from a VW Touring Car Block and Suzuki Hayabusa Engine Head, capable of 307Hp/9.800Rpm, to move the lightweight hatchback, tipping the scales at 700Kg.

It is one of the most decorated Hillclimb machines in Europe with a very long career and still to this day a tremendous machine, among the fastest FWD Monsters in the Sport. Here it can be seen in all its glory both inside and outside on Verzegnis-Sella Chianzutan 2019. And you can watch how far a simple, classic car like the Golf Mk1 can be developed on Hillclimb Racing featuring high end solutions like the most modern KW 3 Suspension system or a paddle-operated Sadev 6 speed Sequential Gearbox with Auto-Blip incorporated in order to automatically rev-match when downshifting (keep an eye on the throtle pedal when Mr. Piano dowshifts in the onboard portion of the video).
