HPA is one of those companies that you have to love: no flash, all fury. This is a 2004 Volkswagen Golf R32 with a 3.2L V6 engine and a monster turbo on the back. It makes 600 HP, shoots fire, and is every bit as fun as it looks.
Check out Matt's review of HPA's 740 HP Mk6 Golf R here on /DRIVE+!

@JohnyKnox 8 жыл бұрын

+Justin Vanover vr6 is amazing and having owned two I do have some issue with the 'chassis' for example the rear end suspension is total shit. I would like to hope the GTI and R32 versions were better than my vr's rear ends but still. I love them and I want another but just know there are many much better handling cars out there. I flipped my last one at highway speeds and walked away without as much as dust in my eyes so I will say they are safe!

208? you had it on a dyno? what mods did you do? I really hope you didn't throw a pod filter on and seriously expect it to add 7hp. Realistically your BDE VR6 is producing less than the 201bhp it was originally. KZfaq's really obsessed with imaginary numbers :P

I disagree about this being a sleeper. People expect an R32 to be fairly quick, the fact that it's quicker than a standard R32 doesn't make it a sleeper. If the drivetrain was swapped out in to a mk4 TDI body, with steel wheels and cloth interior, that would be a sleeper. This is just a mentally quick R32. Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome car and I'm not trying to detract from that, but a sleeper it is not.

The Golf Gen IV R32 is the only car that I have ever owned that I regret having sold. Had only 27,000 miles on her. Having done the car thing with almost every normal consumer brand less the true exotics, this was the most fun car I have ever owned. The engine was way over built and could have handled way more power then stock but I preferred keeping mine 100% original and in pristine condition. Foolishly I sold it and purchased a 911 Carrera. The 911 was quicker but I never had the confidence in the car and if the rain came out, the R32 would have stomped all over it. Not something that most 911 drivers would admit too but I will. Sold the 911 last year and have been looking for a low mileage R32 Gen 4 and I can't find one anywhere especially stock. Anyone with an original R32 should hold onto it. This care has cult status and if you take excellent care of it and keep the mile low and the car stock, will be worth money years from now. Other Cars I miss, 1987 CRX SI, 2001 ITR #703, 2007 STI Limited #83, 1995 850 T5-R, 1988 E30 M3,, 2008 S2000 CR sold it with only 1,500 miles on it - BIG MISTAKE!!!. Sorta miss 1995 SHO 3.0 and 1999 SVT Contour. Done with cars for a while, now doing the boat thing LOL!!!!!

Rob. I'm sorry to hear that you sold your MKIV R32! I have and am the original owner of mine. I have seen former MKIV R32 owners come back on VWVortex. They always come back. To me personally there isn't anything out there that can do what this R32 can do. Meaning, overall package. Grocery getter and a Sunday track car. Then Great companies such as HPA still continues to create Turbo kits, Clutch upgrades, 02M transmission upgrades...etc. not many companies today are Doing this. Rob good luck in your search. There are some still out there.

Never owned a R32, but it is one of my realistic dream cars. I did own a Mk4 GTI, 24v VR6 with a solid amount of work done to it, which had a great suspension setup, and like you, one of the only cars I have owned which I truly regret selling. I also owned 3 SVT Contours during the early to late 2000's, also some of my favorite FWD cars ever. Have you ever owned a E36 or E46 M3? If so, how would you compare it to the R32?

I do a 360 around the car to look things over and you can imagine my reaction. The guy basically said "well its not my window guys fault". I was irate.

+greasegram It's got nothing to do with how much money any of us have, and everything to do with these guys making us pay $4 every month for content coming from just ONE channel. There are tons of other car channels that are just as, if not more, entertaining than Drive that haven't adopted this greedy subscription bullshit (yeah, inflammatory language, I'm using it). If Drive is doing well for themselves with this business model, then good for them, there are enough people out there that value your content at the price you set. However, I don't and there are many others out there that don't. It's arrogant to price yourself above everybody else when you haven't done anything higher in value than everybody else. Matt Farah comes back with nothing but snide comments whenever this issue is brought up, but Matt Farah is a pretty snide guy in general. Then there was the issue where Chris Harris left RIGHT AFTER I started paying them, and Chris Harris was the main reason to watch Drive. Drive+ cares more about money than fans.

Watching this video makes me miss my A1 (MK1) '83 GTI a WHOLE lot! Even if I could afford to have a car like this built, I'd still have a desire and a fondness for the A1 GTIs!!

Funny enough, one of the first up close experiences I had with a tuner car (and probably the reason I fell in love with tuners) was with an HPA scirocco that was imported for a customer in Houston. I remember I had bought new tires for my mom's car and was at this premier euro tuner shop called Motorwerks for them to mount an balance. While I was there, I actually got to see the owner take delivery of his car. All I can say is to this day I hold that car as one of the most beautiful creations I've ever seen. It still haunts my dreams.

Hey Matt, great review as always! The buzzing in the video may have been from the wi-fi in the car. The signal sometimes effect the microphone in your GoPro.

matt, I think it's time to buy an mk4 r32. every time you drive one you seem to just love it. I can tell you I love mine. it's just so great in so many situations. I sure wish I had the coin for one of these amazing hpa kits!

I love the sound of The VR6. From the 2.8 12v, 2.8 24v, 3.2 24v, and the 3.6L 32 valve they have the most unique(well one of them)exhaust note ever.

Well I had a 1995 12v VR6. Turn2 CAI, GIAC Chip, 2.9L TB, Schrick VGI Intake Mani, Phenolic Inake Mani Spacer, UR Pulleys, Autotech 10 LFW, 3.94 R&P FD, 2.5 TT Exhaust, John Doherty DRC 268 Cams, and a P&P'd Big Valve Head by YellowSLC from The VW Vortex Board Alan something. Lowered 2.5 on springs and had bilsteins struts and sport shocks, BFI Race motor mounts, transmission mounts, and the diesel geek short shifter. The springs and struts actually made a hell of a difference as the stock VW height is like that of a mini van. The last thing I wanted to do was to port and gasket match the stock exhaust manifold and lower intake manifold. The Car itself was 2900lbs and made around 208hp at the wheels and around that much torque. Today it would be slow by most standards but back in the day I beat more than a few Porsches, BMW's, Mercedes, etc. I did learn to respect Hondas b/c a stock B16A2 Cylinderhead flowed 100 times more than my 15 degree SOHC with 2 cams in it. I loved and miss the car though.

Really nice....always loved the golfs, especially the still-timeless MK4 R32's/V6-4Mo's/& the Anniversary. I had an anniversary a couple of years ago, roughly running 200bhp over the standard 180bhp. They only made 1800 of these puppies, 900 petrol, and 900 with a 1.9-TDI, with the Le Mans black cloth interior with red-piping, golf-ball gear nob, full black roof lining and pillars over the standard cream, a KO3-S turbo with AUQ engine, and of course the 18" BBS alloys and subtle body kit over the standard 150bhp golfs. Subtle mods were a De-Cat "straight-through" "Powerflow" exhaust, and full K&N induction kit. Unfortunately only had it a month but wasn't told of hidden electrical-faults that could've been the loom, plus a £532 MOT/Service costs, coupled with shit-head vandals keying it whenever I parked, I swapped with a pal and he restored it to its full potential with a 220bhp-exhaust-popping tune up, full L.E.D.'s inside and out, and an 8K HID-kit....
