208.1mph Mk3 Golf

[danny_p]

The mk3 is a more stable chassis than the mk2 im afraid to say. Also wider track.

for 200+ MPH i don't think the std chassi would be doing a lot i would have birdcaged the car be it a mk6-5-4-3-2-1. also the slight wider track of the mk3 make no differance cos the mk2 would end up with a wider track than any stock mk3

there were a couple of twin engined sciroccos in the 80s built by VW

they looked sweet

i think very high up the list would be a roof chop that chould help gain much speed, as for powering it.   a pair of the bigest enignes i chould get my mits on cheep, as weight don't really matter as far as V max is concirned and weight would probaly help keep it on the ground a pair of r32 lumps.

both would be boosted but the boost would be supplyed from a turbo but driven by a small gas turbine ( namely another big turbo with a flame chamber bolted to it )

have you seen the 'proper' battery powered superchargers?

big batteries for more weight

So, as an engineering project, what would you need to beat a Veyrons 253.8 mph?

A dirty great big turbo i would imagine, or perhaps twin turbos.

It'd have to be a VW engine in a VW chassis.

R32 stripped down to bare essentials? Or perhaps transfer that into a mk2 as it's a lighter shell with wide track? Corrado?

Carbon fibre everything?

Surprised someone hasn't already done this top speed malarky before, didn't someone do a twin engined VR6 mk3 a while back as a demonstrator?

big power claims on thatand a lot of cabling to go with thme batteries!.. you seen this little thing too? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIXHvlmLux0
