Volkswagen Golf I with 736 HP by Boba Motoring
100-200 km/h in 5 seconds
Boba Motoring has turned a first-gen Volkswagen Golf into one of the most powerful front-wheel drive cars in the world.
Looks can be deceiving especially when talking about this old Golf which packs a 2.0-liter 16V turbocharged engine generating 736 HP (541 kW) on E85 fuel thanks to a Garrett GTX3582R turbocharger. It also has a roll cage, KMS MD35 ECU and a 6-speed manual gearbox sending the entire horsepower to the front wheels shod in Toyo R888 tires.
Boba Motoring does not disclose the car's 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint time but they say it takes five seconds from 62 mph (100 km/h) to 124 mph (200 km/h).

5 Seductive Sirens of the Seventies
When male attention wasn’t being captivated by the cars and watches of the Seventies, it was daydreaming about these seductive sirens that kept us occupied. Here’s our top five...
Raquel Welch
Although her most famous screen appearance was in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C. (yes, in that bikini), Welch continued to remain a sex symbol throughout the Seventies.
Bo Derek
Her most successful film was the 1979 picture 10 - in which Dudley Moore’s character adjudged her to be an ‘11’ on the attractiveness scale. Most men would agree…
Debbie Harry
As confident in seductive pose as she was in voice, Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry was the ultimate musical temptress of the late Seventies.
Farrah Fawcett
In the Seventies, the late Farrah Fawcett earned more in poster sale royalties than from her salary for appearing in Charlie’s Angels - need any more be said?
Jaclyn Smith
Smith fared a little better than Fawcett in Charlie’s Angels, managing to be the only one who remained during the entire production run – much to the delight of young boys (and grown men) across the world.

TOP GEAR FEST – THATS A WRAP!
So another action packed weekend has come to pass. We now have time to catch our breath again. With the Top Gear Festival in full swing, the Deus crew was flat out battling the 30+ degree temps over the two days out at the Sydney Motorsport Park.
With a full featured stand, including a NASA Airstream Van, The Chev truck, 2 Corvettes and of course 15 odd bikes, Deus had a huge presence across the entire venue, enough so that Captain Slow (James May) decided to beat the heat under our stand while oggling over the beautiful works of metal and rubber.
As the festival provided more events and attractions than one could poke a stick at including, Webber setting a new lap record, the battle of the posties, a v8 vs a bulldoser (just coz they could) and drift demos, its was a real privilege to get some decent track time for our selves on multiple occasions. Even though some of us were on the verge of heat stroke and relieving close to third degree sun burns, the thought of getting into our leathers didn’t deter. Once we filled the Manx with oil and methanol, gave it a little rolling start it was time to hit the tarmac, giving our crew and extended family members (customers) a chance to hit the track also giving us an opportunity to test out the brand new Deus x Zero engineering 1340cc salt lake bike.
With everyone left exhausted from the 2 solid days of fumes and tyre smoke, the weekend was a huge success. A huge shout out goes to everyone involved.
