I was reading the Performance VW magazine and saw that they had chosen a Dutch vehicle as car of the year, of course that made me proud so I went searching for more and came up with this picture. The MKIV is a AWD drive turbocharged car thanks to a G60 charger and a Garrett Turbo, resulting in a 500bhp engine. The other car is a Corrado , but I do not have any info regarding that one yet, but I just emailed the owner so I hope I will receive a confirmation so I can shoot the cars at his garage. Stay tuned….

Hot <3
That garage is immaculate
The garage smells of one that has never had actual work done in it. It serves as a car museum on the side of a house. I want one.
I want a garage like that too.... T_T (Checkered linoleum would be cooler though ^_^ )
Can you tell that Jeroen is discovering European cars? :>
Judging by the hood it's a G60 corrado, and it has Audi door handles fitted on it, looks very nice.
.
as for the Golf, it's probably an R32... and i don't know how likely it is that there's a G60 on it. the G-lader superchargers are very old school technology and i'd be incredibly surprised to see one on a Mk4. If they started with a 1.8T and fit the big turbo, 500hp is plausible, but if it is indeed an R32 then in that case there are multiple twin-turbo setups making easily upwards of 500hp, with the most famous example being the HPA R32 out of the Vancouver area (Surrey, BC) with something like 650hp, all-wheel drive (the car was also in Gran Turismo 4)
.
i REALLY like the colour and wheel choice on the golf, and ideally i'd have the same on the Corrado (but with a VR6 hood, they're nicer ;))
,
word to the wise: never get a VW guy talking about VW's, he'll never stop ;D
nice garage
Odd as it may seem, that Mk4 does indeed have a G60 charger fitted to its 1.8t, along with a BIG turbo. There are some dyno runs of it on youtube, and a few other pictures floating around. Jeroen Dik is the man when it comes to all things G-lader, and although it's unusual, it's a pretty cool combination.
Damn ... So Hot !!!
Wow, that's the complete opposite of the Mk1 from a day ago, eh? I've always had a soft spot for Corrados, too; such cool looking cars. I'd like to see the engine bay of the Golf with the G-lader and turbo fitted.
@Blueslug, Like Golf_RSR said, its a 1.8T with a G60 supercharger and a Garrett turbo. Just wait untill you see the immaculate engine bay
very nice garage there. love the wheels setup on both cars. What's those on the corrado?
sorry TURBO & G60

I think those are Racing Hart CP0350 wheels on that Corrado, but i could be mistaken.
What a pretty blue...
Is that mystic blue?
The Corrado is probably without an engine at the moment, but it had a 360hp+ G60 16v in it once upon a time. =)
Forget the Golf, show us more of that Corrado!! (^_^ )
Heh, both the mk IV and the Corrado looks nice IMO, can't wait for the photoshoot....
Also I might add, we need VW month stat!!!
Both these cars are for sale on JD's site...
