1970 Ford Mustang Mach 3,000 horses



This beastly stallion with the fairly stock body (okay, aside from the double parachutes and ginormous rear wheels), hides a 572 cubic inch (9.4-liter) big block V8 with a pair of 88mm billet Bullseye turbochargers breathing through a Chiseled Performance intercooler that deliver 30 pounds of boost!

The result on the dyno is -wait for it- 3,040-horsepower at 7,300 and 2,411 lb-ft (3,265Nm) of peak torque at 6,000! Agreed, this is an all-out racing application, but that does not make it any less impressive.



2012 Cars and Girls from the Wörthersee GTI Tour



The 31st Wörthersee GTI fest kicked off on Wednesday, May 16, and will continue to entertain Volkswagen as well as Audi, Seat and Skoda owners and enthusiasts in more ways than one (as you will soon see in the pictures below…) for another two days until Saturday, May 19.

Among the other highlights of the show is the production-intent Volkswagen Polo R WRC Street with 217-ponies residing under its hood, and several other prototypes such as the Skoda Citigo Rally Car and the Audi Q3 RS, which we first laid eyes on in Beijing last month.
