Golf GTI W12-650 Concept (650hp, 100 in 3.7secs, 325km/h)

VW Golf GTI W12 Concept: 650Hp & 325km/h!

Looks like the VW GTI meeting Wörthersee 2007 is turning into a major event this year as, apart from the impressive Audi TT clubsport quattro VW presented the "King" of all GTI’s: the Golf GTI W12 Concept. Fitted with a mid-mounted 6.0-liter 12cylinder bi-turbo engine pumping 650Hp @ 6.000 rpm and a maximum torque of 750Nm @ 4.500 rpm., the Golf GTI W12 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in just 3,7 sec while achieving a top speed of 325km/h (202 mph). Despite the extensive modifications that include a lower and broader body than the stock GTI, the addition of several air vents to cool the massive engine and the specially designed roof that plays the role of a diffuser/ spoiler, VW’s concept retains the GTI’s silhouette. However, unlike VW Group's other concept, the TT speedster, the W12 has infinitesimal chances of going into production.

I know the body kit sucks... but the engine transplant is insanely amazing!

Blimey!

DaSilva · 05-17-2007, 11:28 AM

I'm sorry but this is just stupid and a total waste of money

You want a cool car (at least) with 650HP not a Golf.. Come on Vw..

The Emperor · 05-17-2007, 03:21 PM

Haha! Crazy stuff! A W12 in a Golf?

Julius, this is not a waste of money, this is only a concept that will never see production!

I'm actually a bit disappointed they didn't use the W16 from the Veyron.
