Up Next: The Golf Rallye



The Mk2 Golf Rallye never made a big splash in the world of motorsport when it was first introduced. It had potential, but it had a problem with reliability like no other racecar I can think of. More of that in posts to come.

In this clip (one of my favorites) you can see that a Works Rallye can be a fast and capable machine, but perhaps it is best suited to hill climb events like the one shown here, rather than open rally stages. I don't know if this is a standard 8v G60, or if it has been converted into a 16v, -the power difference between the two heads is around 100hp when fully optimized- but it sounds glorious none the less!
