The car uses the AWD system from a Golf Mk4 R32 and is powered by a 12v VR6 engine. The engine&#8217;s displacement has been increased from 2.8 L to 3.1 L and has been upgraded with forged internals, custom cams, and titanium springs\/valves. The engine produces 1,010 horsepower thanks to a Garret GT4202R turbocharger running 2.7 bar (39.1 psi) of boost. That level of power helps the small car reach 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in 2.1 seconds and the quarter-mile in 9.245 seconds at 251.76 kph (156.43 mph).<\/p>\n<p><a
