Wolf in sheep’s clothing: HPA R32
Twin turbo R32? Yewbetcha.
It’s no secret that we’re big fans of the Volkswagen R32 (whether MkIV or MkV). But when you add an HPA twin turbo kit, the car, highly capable as is in stock form, becomes a genuine track weapon capable of hunting big game like Porsches and Corvettes. Perfect for someone who truly values the Q-car aesthetic (or just really loves the People’s Car).
Be prepared to pay (mightily, depending on who you ask) for the privilege of 550 bhp, though.
Man, I remember seeing an HPA twin-turbo AWD setup on a New Beetle in Road & Track wayyyyy back in the day. Then the R32 came out and the performance figures came out… scaryfundreamboat.
