Experience the Power of a VW Golf with a 420-HP I5 Engine Swap on the Autobahn

The MK5 Volkswagen Golf originally came with a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that produced 150 horsepower. In its stock form, it could accelerate to 60 miles per hour in nine seconds and had a top speed of 130 mph. However, this particular Golf has undergone a significant transformation with a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine borrowed from an Audi RS3.

With the turbocharged five-cylinder engine, the Golf now boasts an impressive 420 horsepower, almost three times its original power. The difference in performance is immediately noticeable as the Golf accelerates much more quickly. In no time, it effortlessly reaches speeds above 140 mph (230 kilometers per hour) on the autobahn.
