The Race1000 event held a couple of weeks ago in Germany gathered some very fast machines, and one of them caught our attention – a Volkswagen Golf.

That’s right, a Golf from the second generation was one of the most exciting cars that lined up at the start line on that weekend.

Despite looking like a well-preserved and mostly stock example, save for the huge intercooler behind the front bumper, a big exhaust pipe and a roll cage, the old timer can eat supercars for breakfast and, with a little bit of luck, hypercars for lunch.

Watch Also: The VW Golf MK2 GTI Is Still Everything You Like In A Hot Hatch

The compact hatchback has around 1,300 horsepower sent to all four wheels, or 200 HP less than the mighty Bugatti Chiron. The countless modifications and huge output allowed it to hit 211 mph (340 km/h) at the end of the half-mile run. This achievement has turned it into “the fastest Volkswagen Golf 2 in the world”, according to the description of the video that shows it in action, a claim shared in the owner’s Facebook page as well.

This Golf Mk2 is also a quarter-mile champ that can mix it with the quickest-accelerating cars out there. Digging through the aforementioned social media page, we found proof that it ran the quarter mile earlier this summer in 9.1 seconds with an exit speed of 174 mph (280 km/h), whereas the 1/8-mile was covered in 6.2 seconds, at 137 mph (220 km/h). Kudos to the owner for creating an excellent surface-to-surface missile.
