Giuseppe Aragona drives a wild Volkswagen Golf Mk7 built by Maurizio Lombardo at LM Tech and Filippo Pirini at Aereus Squadra Corse for hillclimb racing. The hatchback replaced the turbocharged 2.0 L inline-four for a turbocharged 2.5 L DAZA inline-five. 19Bozzy92 reports the motor was built by M.M. Engines di Marco Maccagnani in Italy and produces 750-800 hp (551-588 kW). The motor is paired to a Kotouč seven-speed sequential transmission and AWD drivetrain. The 1,060 kg (2336 lb) car benefits from a TCR carbon fiber body and Alcon six-piston brakes. Watch Giuseppe race the Golf around Autodromo dell’Umbria in Magione, Italy.
