This Volkswagen Golf Mk7 was built by Maurizio Lombardo at LM Tech and Filippo Pirini at Aereus Squadra Corse for hill climb racing. The hatch is not powered by a turbocharged 2.0 L inline-four. Instead it has a turbocharged 2.5 L DAZA inline-five from an Audi RS3 capable of 600+ hp. HillClimb Monsters reports the motor is paired to a seven-speed sequential transmission and AWD drivetrain. Other upgrades include a TCR carbon fiber body, Öhlins shocks, and Alcon six-piston brakes. The video below shows Giuseppe Aragona racing the car at Bongo HillClimb Monsters in Skradin, Croatia, Trento-Bondone Hill Climb in Trento, Italy, and Trofeo Vallecamonica Hill Climb in Malegno, Italy.
