mk3 16v G60! nearly made production.....

SO close, what a shame; I guess VWM didn't have enough left overs to make even a limited run of them....

This was to be a possible upgrade option for the GTI 16v Mk3.

The conversion included the engine work, which featured lowered compression to 9:1, resulting in a G-Lader assisted power output of 208ps and 287Nm torque. Tires are bumped up to 225/40 R16, and ultimately resulted in a 0-100kph (62mph) of 7.3, which seems high to me, and a terminal velocity of 240kph (149mph, which seems 100% possible.) Oh and it had some trick VW Motorsport gauges too, just as icing on the cake.

The cost was 13,870DM (Deutsch Marks), which back then would have been around $6,900.

Dope right???

Oooo would have been amazing.
225/40/16s might be on the cards for my Vento then if it was going to be a option back then
