G60-16V Golf Rallye Info (cited)

[freshapple <freshapple@mac.com>]

Taken from the Illustrated Volkswagen Buyers Guide by Peter Vack ©1993:

"The G60 supercharger was applied to the normal eight-valve head, and it
didn't take long before VW Motorsports adapted the G60 to the 16V head.
According to Ian Kuah in his book VW Power and Style, seventy Golf G60
16Vs were produced by the Brussels, Belgium plant, making it the
'fastest production road car ever to have left any VW plant destined for
a private customer.'  The G60 16V was not shipped to the United States,
of course, but ironically put out 210hp DIN and was in full compliance
with US emissions regulations."
