If I had £52k spare...
« on: 15 June 2010, 20:27 »
... I think I would be buying this. (As featured in this months VolksWorld Camper & Bus) In fact I may sell the house and get a mortgage on this as you could live int it!

You have probably seen it before, but it is up for sale again.



340 BHP
482 lb/ft Torque
124.3 MPH top speed

Quote from the article... "It's surprisingly fast. My wife has a remapped MK5 Golf TDi & it will outpace that on the right road."

Also Featured on Fifth Gear Europe

WARNING, CONTAINS SOME GOD AWFUL MUSIC!!!

I think if it was white without them stickers it would look nicer, but still not worth that much

Opened his chequebook.

Given that it's a 2.5 TDI base motor with 174bhp it's not a huge leap of imagination to get it to put out 340bhp.

As the standard 174 motors are renowed for destroying driveshafts, clutches and gearboxes a lot of money will need to have been spent in that area.
