August 4, 2015 – The Yamaha YZF-R1 is a ridiculously fast superbike, so when you tell someone that your Volkswagen Golf Mk1 can beat the famous bike, they will most probably laugh at you.
However, this modified Golf Mk1, which produces 1056 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, is more than capable of defeating a Yamaha R1. In fact, it makes the sport bike look slow.
Watch the insane Golf Mk1 obliterate the R1 in the video below.
