You cannot use the drag equation to calculate how much power you'd need, as it produces the force needed, not the power. It wouldn't matter much if the speed in the comparison was the same, but it isn't. Multiply the result with the speed difference and you will find the 3L needs 28% more horsepower than the GTI has to reach 266 km/h.
So your extra aeromodded 3L needs about 157 hp to reach 266 km/h.
The 3L produces just 60 hp.
Unless you did a hefty engine swap you won't break the 200 km/h barrier.
