V-Dub Concept. W12. Turbos. RWD. Spank me.

Linkums.
This is a pure show car, so don't go running to your VW dealer waving around a fistful of cash. He won't be able to help you. Too bad, though, as this super Golf dishes out a mammoth 650 horsepower and over 530 ft lbs of torque from the 6.0L biturbo W12 it's got mounted behind the front seats. All that juice flows through a 6-speed automatic to the rear wheels, which are shod in some seriously meaty rubber.

The ultimate GTI in every way, 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.

235er tire in front, 295er tire in the back :shock:

I can't imagine what the hell it would be like to control that thing... with that short a wheel base and that much power.... let's just say it would be an interesting ride!

Lotz of power in a nice pocket sized package. I approve.
