A modified 90s hatchback shows Porsches how it’s done
by Dim Angelov, onWhen you think about compact cars with great tuning potential, 8 out of 10 people would probably think of the Honda Civic. However, in Europe, there’s another popular alternative – the Volkswagen Golf. A while back, a video was circulating around the internet where someone in a Nissan 350Z was chasing a Porsche 997 GT3. At the same time, a stock-looking Golf Mk1 came out of nowhere and embarrassed both the Z-car and the 911, without even a sweat. The Golf on the video is an Mk2 and it’s said to be the fastest on the Nurburgring.
The YouTuber Misha Charoudin, once again, supplies a video from what seems to be his natural habitat – the Nurburgring – from where he’s showing us some of the craziest track cars, to ever step on the “Green hell”.
The comrade introduces us to Nige, the owner and builder of this monstrosity, who tells us in detail about all he has done. It doesn’t take long for you to realize, it’s not your typical mild bolt-on build.
A lot of fabrication has been done by Nige in order to optimize every aspect of this “Porsche Eater”. Nothing is for show and everything you see has a function. The car even has some parts from e British Touring car. Take a look at how this modified Golf gives Porsches a proper spanking around the “Ring”.
