Uhm, why oh why are people so dumb to pay 2 BAR on a GTi???
For that money you could buy a GTR beast and come out with some change.
And then you'd have a GTR. A legendary track bred car, not a freaking Golf with an attitude problem.

Sheesh, money can't buy intelligence. Good luck to the 5 idiots who bought this.

not really, 350kw four pots are not uncommon, I had a 350kw 2.0l 16v daily drive car up until a few months ago.

Cheese Sauce! Totally overpriced.

And I agree with I.am.Sam, you wont get a 2.5 5 cylinder to 350KW ATF just with a remap, additional "bits and pieces" will be required.
Well, you could, but it won't be reliable.

You can get to 350KW+ (with supporting mods like stronger gearbox/shafts/brakes/rubber/etc ) and it won't cost you millions.

fast|reliable|cheap

^ pick any two.

Speedbumps exactly. Would you rather have a new Merc S63 V8 bi-turbo AMG luxury sedan or this...?

So many car enthusiasts here. :)

Epic looking car, bit pricey but then it's worth it for the sheer performance.

Read the article.

That depends. Some people prefer faster cars than slower ones. And how many Mercs are there in SA?
