As fans of the Berg Cup series and Volkswagen’s Rallye Golf, these videos are ticking all the right boxes for us.
Recorded at last weekend’s event in St. Anton, this machine with widened box arches, piloted by Karl Schagerl, has said goodbye to the factory 1.8-litre engine with G-Lader supercharger in favour of a turbocharged 2.0-litre 16 valve unit that develops 246 kW (330 hp). Unfortunately – on this occasion, things didn’t end too well for Karl, but the second video, from the previous Gossendorf round, saw the Rallye claim third place in the over 2000cc 4WD class. Not bad for its first outing in this guise.
