How much is performance does a bulletproof VW Golf GTI lose when pitted against a standard Golf GTI? And… Can the GTI beat a bulletproof Ford Ranger Raptor? We set up a drag race to find some answers, watch the video!
We recently tested and reviewed the Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI AK47, but we wanted to see whether all that extra weight to make it bulletproof badly affected its ability in a real-world chase. We borrowed a standard Golf 8 GTI and raced it against SVI’s AK47 proof Golf GTI in a drag race with a twisty slalom to see what happened.
Then, just for a bit of fun, SVI loaned us their B4 handgun-proof Ranger Raptor to drag race against the Golf GTI. Both cars have identical claimed 0-100 km/h times so it was going to be a super close race.
Watch Jacob Mashokoa and Ash Oldfield duel it out at the Rhino Park runway.
