gti madness

[ripper46]

I guess I'm the first one to post this. found it on vwvortex.com
VW has gone mad Well Volkswagen has pulled a fast one (literally) and decided to unveil a W12 powered, rear-wheel-drive, mid-engined GTI at the tuner/drunk/party fest in Austria known as Worthersee.

VW claims a top speed of 202 mph
- 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 that 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 really dig this

That is insane!!

But it's basically a rip-off of the Clio V6...

Actually, the Metro 6R4 and Renault 5 Turbo 1, for that matter.

gti w12 > cliov6+ metro6R4+ renault 5 turbo

however,

Dahlback golf rsi > gti w12

After seeing this Quiggs has gone under a 72 hour fap fest.

650hp W12+light car+RWD=insanity at its highest hour.

Now if only they made one in black for us to look at.

I'm pretty sure Quiggs will need medical attention after this.

This car is awesome if it actually is true.

[Ingolstadt]

you used the correct words. MADNESS.

[The_Canuck]

Madness? THIS IS V-DUUUUUUUUUUB!

[fisetdavid26]

Who said Quiggs' ride was the uberwagen?! THIS is!

[bmwpower]

Hell yes, I've always thought the gti can do better than 200 horses, about time Now if only i can pick one up from my local dealer..then that would be out of this world.

[NSXType-R]

Yes, it's basically two Clio V-6's.

Insane indeed.
