VW Golf R32 with 1000 horsepower

What happens when you lose a race to the GTI with the Golf R32? In the case of a South African, the level of the car would only go up.

Jacque De Beer has done what is not often seen in the world. His 5 MK32 Golf R2009 has reached more than 1000 horsepower, equivalent to a Porsche 911 Turbo.

With his 3.2-liter car he has now managed to outperform the cars that once defeated him.

His Golf R32 car was originally produced with a 6 horsepower VR247 engine.
