I actually like it. It reminds a bit of the MTM twin engine Audi TT, which I also like. Neither car is practical in any way, but I think it's cool to cram huge engines into tiny cars. That roof spoiler design is a nice touch. I hope VW releases the body kit someday even if the concept doesn't go to production (which I highly doubt will happen). I have no idea how a 6.0L engine was crammed into such a small car, but the engineers were apparently able to pull it off somehow. I'm assuming this V12 GTI isn't FWD though. That would make it completely undriveable.

Holy sh*t, that's incredible. That's mad, totally mad. 202mph top speed...and....a W12? :eek: Look at the bodykit on it aswell, that's lush. I'm definitely liking that. It's like some crazy Golf you would create on NFS, with crazy engines, bodykits and power figures and speeds. Well, it looks like one just came to life.....really liking this, nice one.

That's totally insane.A W12 engine in a golf?It's a fwd car.The traction will be minimum..It says that does 0-100 at 3.7secs and it can achieve speeds of 202 mph.That's extraordinary...
But the car is a project and is impossible to sell copies to the market.

It's rear wheel drive with a 6 speed auto tranny.
And it looks a lot better than anything you can make on NFS. This is what euro tuning is all about. Making a small, effective car, super fast, and super clean.
That thing makes me want to drive, and create cars of my own. A feeling better than no other.

This is the ultimate pocket rocket.

Holy mother of Jesus Christ. I like it. It doesn't look all that nice, but it's still cool. It's mid-engined... it's gonna drive like a Le Mans Prototype! Well, maybe not... but it's still a badass concept.
By the way, what's up with the C pillar that isn't connected to the rear window? Is it just for engine cooling?

DAMN, that's a Hot Hatch!!! They did a nice job with the body kit and those spoilers, I really like this kind of concepts.

Wow, i really have to say that looks quite nice. And a nice touch of power as well IN A GOLF. Its like putting a jet on a gokart

Wow I honestly can't comprehend how a 6.0L W12 fits into that thing. And that bodywork is absolutely magnificent, Vectra GTS is right it does look kinda like a Clio with the side intakes and oh my god those rims are beautiful.

The engine isn't actually in the front it was crammed behind the driver's seat in the space where the rear seats and the boot would normally be. Thats how they managed to fit a W12 into a GTI

I realllllly love the looks of this thing, looks very spacious inside, very good looking, it's got mega-aggressive, ultra low-lying, fat new front and rear bumpers, that's what I like.... looks like a heavily modified tuner, I really want one of those...
I've just got myself a new desktop background. :)

That is a damn shame that it is not going to be produced, but then again there is no market for it. What an awesome car it would be! Golf with W12=Fun time.

probably, because you wont really want something like that when you race it in the rain...well, the window stuff, it reminds me of a car, i cant remember the name of it, its not the Clio RS and gosh it makes the car much more cooler...
woohoo! its got no boot!!ooo yes! anyways, this is stunning, ill start off with the rear, it looks awsome, the big grills, the big exhausts, it just looks awsome, abit of need for speed most wanted feel, but heck, its awsome! the wheels looks okay and the side vents too, darn they look awsome, im not really a fan of the front, ill have the original GTI front, but keep the bottom of the bumper, but that classic feel of the grills, they look okay, not really good in some views...but awsome car...

The Ultimate Hot Hatch. If only it was actually produced. 12 cylinders and 6 litres with 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds. Sounds pretty supercar-ish to me. It seems to Germans DO have a sense of humour.

We discussed about this car..Check it.It's on the european cars section.

OMG, this car looks awesome. It's low slung stance and mean body kit makes it look really aggressive. I wonder what will happen if they left it FWD instead of MR, torque steer would be a huge problem.:p It's performance is also mind blowing! A W12 that can produce 650hp and can do 0-60 in 3.7secs!:eek: Too bad production is unlikely, it would be nice too see one of these cruising our streets...

Now that, is a hot hatch. Very very impressive.

mmmm. So that's what happens. I always wanted to do that to an Astra, but Volkswagen beat me to it. I'm thinking that while this may not be put into production as a VW, it would make an excelent entry-level Lamborghini, except with the LP640's V12, but the thing would shake itself to bits lol.

This car is incredible 650 horsepower W12 and all in an extra wide GTI body. Talk about a hatch that packs a punch.
Imagine the GTI and a GT3 at the lights and an old man in a toyota camry behind. The lights go green the two cars floor it and the GTI comes out on top after a 1/4 mile :O the old man in the camry suffers a heart attack :D
GTI 0-62: 3.7 seconds
GT3 0-62: 4.1 seconds
GTI: 200 mph
GT3: 193 mph
Maybe the GT3 isn't the best car to compare it to. But that GTI is just crazy.
