MADNESS! 620 Horsepower HOT HATCH on the Nürburgring!

Sometimes things get out of hand, in a good way. Like Loran's ( / bizz_r_cupra ) Cupra, that started the life as a 280hp hot hatch and now ended up running 620.

Was fun to watch, but I think it's not going overboard to say stock power with all the suspension mods would have made for a better (subjective) track experience, and probably not a slower laptime either.

Would definitely not be slower!

Still seems like a great car to Hoon tho

@@mgcharoudin 👍100% agreed, but it does require adjustment to braking points. Great lap in an unfamiliar car though. Insightful comment about modern tires/tyres too. Did they feel overstressed at times?

Also, 620bhp no way, it's good he believes that but IRL, that's not 620bhp.

[@casasdenick]

@@JerainJezza why don't you think so? There are guys all over the world putting down 550+ at the wheels on these engines in various MQB cars. 620bhp is entirely possible if built correctly. 500whp450wtq is seen as the limit by most tuners for the stock bottom end. These gen 3 engines rip.

Part of me thinks that 620HP in that FWD Cupra is just too much, but it's so nicely implemented I love it!

I even remember the Golf TDi 130 being the limit for FWD … The car is mental and needs some experienced hands to deliver boat loads of fun. Great footage.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

TDI? I don't think anyone thought it was too much, but diesels just have way more torque for lower power numbers and are more prone to torque steering.

[@Jaun2Three]

loved this screen setup. I could tell with you flying into the first corner it was gonna be a good lap.

[@Armalyte78]

Great build! Maybe awd and a full diffuser would help with handling and won't ruin much of the "sleeper" look. I love the; how much power? "yes!" approach as well!

[@stoneeh]

@@TheTechnoaddict yeah. Mine is 190hp @ 1200kg FWD. I have about a dozen chassis and suspension mods so far, and am still not thinking about increasing power. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe with the best modern trick suspension & diff. & semis 300 hp is the most a FWD car can reasonably handle. Even though those who haven't been there should be aware, the Ring has a very rugged, grippy asphalt - I did a lap in the wet and there was about as much grip as on some public roads in the dry. So if it doesn't even work on the Ring, it makes even much less sense on road.
