The car is 21cm wider and 30cm longer than a standard Golf, with no panel fitting directly. The powertrain and most of the interior come from the Porsche 928 (with the second one, pictured, using a 928 S). The car has been clocked at over 230kph. The conversion/construction cost 2x as much as a brand new 928 S.
It’s like that uncanny valley thing with robots – it’s good enough to not be noticeable until you actually look at it.
It’s obviously huge in comparison to a golf but on first sight it just looks like a golf – that would have been very hard to achieve, once you adjust one portion/dimension it makes everything else look small and obviously not original, but I think they did a good job
Only question I have is – was the golfball gearknob included in the size-up – (did the rabbit in America have a golfball gearknob? Or a rabbit??)

The increased size becomes obvious when [parked next to a regular Mk1 Golf](https://i.postimg.cc/y8CkC75k/A2.jpg).
What other cars did that company make?
