1,000-hp VW Golf hits 155 mph in 6.1 seconds, thrashing Venom GT

Hennessey Performance has been making waves recently with its Venom GT, boasting world-record speed while delivering sour words for Bugatti. During its record run, the Venom GT used all 1,244 hp to hit 158.83 mph in just 10.29 seconds, an insane feat if ever there was one.

There does, however, remain a car that can crush those figures, firing to 155mph in just 6.1 seconds. The weird part? It's an original edition, 1.8-liter VW Golf.

The Golf in question is nicknamed the 16Vampir, a creation of German tuner company Boba-Motoring. The company seemingly produce multiple variants of Golf, as well as a few EVO tunings and BMW E30s. Because, well, why not?
