One of Misha Charoudin’s latest videos has him fidgeting in the passenger seat of a Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI as a bold racing driver professionally squeezes every last bit of performance out of the car on the Nürburgring.
The driver, whose name is Philipp, takes advantage of a custom-built hot hatch awash with carbon fiber with upgraded brakes and suspension. Philipp points out that it is tuned perfectly for fast cornering and straight-line acceleration. The power is still provided by the GTI’s turbo-four mill, but the output is closer to 370 PS (365 hp / 272 kW) after all the mods.
Anyone who has been following Misha Charoudin on YouTube knows the vlogger is by no means a stranger to the North Loop, but even he is visibly nervous watching his friend weave his way through the formidable track at insane speeds.
