The faster time on Tsukuba is from the tiem attack, the slower is from the race.

The time on the nordschleife was done by golf IV R32, which was in fact faster than Golf V R32 which did 8:48.

Anonymous 3 years ago
Same goes for 1:19.3 time for Hockenheim shorttrack.

You are right, i shall edit it when i have some time :)

Da top speed for r32 is 300 if u get rid of limiter

Heyhuub 3 years ago
No it isn't.

FastestLaps 3 years ago
I guess it could reach something like 265 - 270 maximum. 300? No WAY!

Georg 3 years ago
it can hit 260km/h at best without limiter... 250hp are not enough to get somehwere close to 270km/h. If you wanna get close to 300km/h in a "normal" car you need 400-500hp. The fastest Golf R32 the HGP biturbo toped 322km/h with 600hp. Does anyone realy belive they have added 350hp only to get 22km/h extra? *rolleyes*

FastestLaps 3 years ago
I am not sure but I also think that hatchbacks have worse aerodynamics - more drag. Sedans and coupes are better for higher top speeds.

Georg 3 years ago
no the airdrag in´t made by the car shape... airindex is airdrag (cW) x frontal surface area... the most important factor for good cW is the size and placment of the radiator and the air stream through the engine compartment... same model with different engines have different cW numbers.. example Honda S2000 vs Porsche Boxsert... S2000 extrem bad cW = low topspeed with 240hp only 240km/h..Boxsert extrem good cW with small surface area = extrem high topspeed 253km/h with lower power (225hp basic model) much faster topspeed as the S2000

AFGun, if you want a VW Golf that can hit 300 km/h, go and rent VW Golf GTi W12 from VW and enjoy the ride! It will actually get you not only to 300 but to 325 km/h. And 0-100 km/h in 3,5 seconds. Btw: This mad one-of-kind show-car supergolf will be featured on TopGear.

Boxster ops not Boxsert lol

Georg 3 years ago
or you buy a HGP tuned R32... reaching 322km/h...they are pretty cheap compared to other cars able to get to that speed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4cGsI85-7I

Why are we even talking about 300MPH in a Golf? I have one, and love to go fast, but I wouldn't dare hit 300MPH in my car...that is a death trap for non-purpose built cars.

VTEC976 3 years ago
Golf R32 that is...sorry.

Wads 3 years ago
or even 300kph!? ;-)

Not-Anonymous 3 years ago
nobody was talking about 300 mph. That's impossible even for the fastest internal combustion engined cars built on purpose to go as fast as possible. Someone just claimed that R32 would reach 300 km/h without limiter. But it's totally impossible. Even 400 hp mid engined coupe Audi R8 barely reaches that speed.

Wads 3 years ago
Georg there are several examples on the internet showing standard Honda S2000s doing 253kph as well.... eg http://youtube.com/watch?v=cxxh5zMwid8 Showing an indicated 281kph

Georg 3 years ago
Wads you realy reffer to speedclock? I talk about real speed..not fantasy numbers by speedclock. Every speedclock is way off the true. My speedometer hits 260km/h at 6100rpm/6.gear... at this time I hit in real 243km/h. The S2000 has horrible airdrag and I raced several of them topspeed on the Autobahn and I outrun every of them..the car that owns me every time is the BoxsterS... good airdrag takes them to a high "REAL"(not speedclock) topspeed

Wads 3 years ago
The S2000 speedo is not that inaccurate so even fantasy 281kph as at least 253kph in reality! The drag coefficient between Boxster S and S2000 is close 0.32 for the Honda Vs 0.31 for the Porsche. What car do you drive?

The 1:31 sportauto wet handling lap was wrong (that is the time from the TT 2,0TSI)

So sre the times for Nordschleife and Hockenheim, but they're still there.

Anonymous 2 years ago
So are the times for Nordschleife and Hockenheim. Those were made by Golf IV R32 which is actually faster. I've written this before, but no one seems to care. Please delete those times, and put the real ones. (not sure here but I think 8:48 and 1:20.3 are real results)
