- 6.0l W12 12-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine mounted in the back seat of the GTI
- 650hp and 553 lb-ft. of torque (!)
- with the flared fenders the car sits over 6 feet wide and only 4.6 feet tall
- 19" wheels with 295 rear rubber and 235 front rubber
- the fenders are flared 3.15" at the rear

I agree I thought I was on the wrong forum for a minute. Maybe the following link might be useful www.overdevelopedstupidlookingcars.com (http://www.overdevelopedstupidlookingcars.com) :wink:
-
awesome :cool: :cool: :cool:
i think i have just come
-
Car looks crazy! Would really be interesting if they were to put these in production :evil:
-
Looks like a bit of a mean machine! Seems like the new vw boss is coming out with some interesting cars - hope this is a sign of things to come :smug:
-
for the Mark 6 I reckon they should make the R32 or R36 whatever its going to be called mid engined :cool:
-
Mid engined so it has to have those ducts on the side otherwise it would be a bloody expensive non movable car! to put it to reason that's a biturbo V12 in effect, and rear wheel drive,where do you sign up to become a VW Kamikaze pilot!!
-
:smiley:
This is me stunned and shocked as I stare at that car......
:laugh:
This is me when I hear its being produced....
:cry:
This is me when I realise I will probably never be able to afford it....
Oh well.......
Brilliant looking car. Yes a bit like a Clio V6 but hey..... Nothing compares to a VW.
I wonder if they will at least allow that bodykit to be sold? Would be damn expensive....
Just my view

-
my sentiments exactly mate!
and this thing about it looking like a clio v6....is this necessarily a bad thing?
-
Its a monster of a car, but there is NO WAY I would ever want to own one or even make my car look like it, its far TOOOO much. (looks wise, you can never have too much power)
-
i think it looks awesome to be honest :cool:
-
I agree. You gotta find a equilibrium between power and looks.
Some people just dont get it......
-
Yeah, the Clio v6 I could happily drive around in and be alrite, but the W12, well I would feel like a right tw@t driving around in it, despite the fact that it would eat any car alive and spit it out.
-
I still want one...... :cry:
-
IF they did make them....how much do you think they would sell them for? £100,000 plus or minus?
-
well if the RS4 is £50k it would prob be about £80k ish i reckon!
-
I cant imagine how much it would cost... But think of it this way...
VW created the Veyron. Who knows what they might do next with the Golf. Chances are nothing will be created. But they must have a reason for creating all these concept cars? :rolleyes:
Yeah ok. Try squeezing past to buses on a tight road with that thing, its not gonna work. Cars like that are not practical. Thats common sense. Therefore you will probably find that they will find a holy space in the house and be parked there to look pretty and every now and then taken for a spin :evil: :evil:
-
That car will be fine for America....everything is just over sized there! People, roads, cars, buildings, mcdonalds, food etc!
-
Macdonalds........ :drool:
JUST JOKES. Thats true about America though.
:grin: :grin:
-
lol...its trueee :laugh:
-
if your gonna to america, best place on earth is a diner called "HOOTERS", just you wait and see :wink:

Been there got the t-shirt etc. :wink: Outstanding place to go and the food isn't bad either. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: I think there's one in Nottingham now, will have to investigate.
-
i can confirm there is one in Nottingham :wink: went there a couple of years back :drool:

mmmm made a man very happy! :laugh:

i love the car, its beautiful, and hardly as overstated as people are making out. but what disappoints me is the crap performance figures, only 533 f/lb's out of a twin turbo 6 litre - thats pretty poor. it should be pushing more around 720 with that engine with about 700bhp.
i dont get car manufacturers nowadays, its clear we can make 2l NA reliable 240bhp engines, but only honda are the ones sensible enough to do it. you have the likes of the new peugeot gti 1.6 turbo - with 160bhp - thats so lame, a 1.3 g40 runs about 170 with a pulley swap - and that design is about 15 years old.
i dont know about the rest of you, but its time we should start seeing some small size powerful engines, none of this 6l twin turbo, 5.5l supercharged rubbish.

and we all know what a paragon of reliability the G-charger was for VW :grin:
Manufacturers have to cope with a much wider range of legislation nowadays...the Peugeot engine you mention, like other manufacturers, produces much the same HP as a mildly tuned G40, but far more reliably and economically, and within far more stringent environmental limits than the G40 engine could ever dream of passing...plus the car its built around is far stronger and less likely to crush into a deathtrap in a serious accident
VW probably agree with you about the small size powerful engines...hence the 1.4 TSI with up to 170hp (from factory) engines going into every other small/medium VW model nowadays
