Nope. That will be the only one.

"this car has a claimed top speed of 325 km/h -- 201 mph! -- and a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) of 3.7 seconds."

Ahh, i remember the "good" old days when the sierra cosworth first came out and every other capri, fiesta and escort suddenly had a whale tail. I blame that company from the Isle of Wight....Panique i think they were called.  :sick:

Was reading an article about the car this morning, they were bascially hailing it as it a triumph for VW and that the VW big wigs are remaning very tight lipped about it possibly going into production, with industry insiders estimating a price tag of £75K.

estimated price of 75k, amazing when you condider 0-60 in 3.7 and over 200mph top speed, anything that comes close costs 4 times as much!

Haha that thing is insane!  I think VW will loose alot of browny points if they don't put that thing into production!!

You never know in 20 years all the common folk could have a chance of grabing one 50th hand haha!

Beautiful car though!

Just picked up PVW this month and they claim from a "source" that this W12 650 mkv is a fake and doesn't actually work. Apparently at the unveiling this source went to have a closer look at the car and the turbos were still cold? Then at that point vw officials gave him the boot.

Dont know if it's true but there you go, apparently a publicity stunt.
