They did, they called it "Golfzilla."  It was in an issue of Road & Track a
few
months back.  It seems that they were using the Golf as a test mule for the
TT conversion.  They grafted in quattro IV because the Golf wasn't
available with 4motion.  I think it was making 412hp, but I'm not sure.
Impressive, but not as impressive as the 900hp Golf made by Dahlback
Racing which is running an Audi 2.3l 20v destroked to 2.2l and, of course
quattro...
