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. We'll have more information, photos and video in coming weeks ahead. A full photo gallery is provided in the links below.

We also have a loosely translated version of the German press releaes below, but what we do know is this:

- 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 the 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 rea

OH MY GOD! I hate little cars though. :)

[seeking]

i swaer the new gti is an opticle illusion, it does look really tiny but once you get inside its huge in there...then again mi 5'4" so...

[The Guru]

you are 5'4''? :O

[seeking]

yea im a short guy, so i have to worry about whether or not i can see when picking a car rather than if i'll have enough head room lol


--

also wanted to add, VW thought about producing that GTI for about 80k american....supercar power with a not so supercar price....:drool icon here:

[C-Note]

I like that little car

[The Guru]

Imagine, you drag-racing a Lambo or a Ferrari in that car, and winning =D The feeling should be sooo owning.

[Streetz]

That's sick!!! Thank god it's RWD too!

[007]

it looks so ugly though...

[~The Guyver~]

Holy shit that is bad ass.

[Streetz]

it looks so ugly though...Ugliest cars make the greatest sleepers :nod:

That car is a bit over the top for looks, but that's what all manufacturers are doing with cars now, so will have to get used to it.

[SilentKiller]

large engine but a Little bit small car, lol

[seeking]

its really not that small! -=P

[c-towNsawedOFF]

car is clean, it is possable to have that top speed, but iDK
in 2004 a 350z (nissan) was built for top speed and had well over 1000 hp and blew the motor @ 220 mph.
huge power difference and only made it 18 mph over the GTI, lol

[seeking]

yea but this GTI got a 12 cylynders

[c-towNsawedOFF]

no comment, just watch. like i said be4, they use the car as a shell and i doubt they use stock motor to build

enjoy the carnage


lol i was looking at the stock spec for 06 GTI...they call it "double overhead cam" instead of dual overhead cam (dohc)
•

edit:confused me harecore, i need to stop drinking and i will remember what im saying

[seeking]

the GTI from the original post is the 12 cylinder engine taken from the audi a8 (as far as i know its the a8), the cylinders form a "W", kinda like a v12 has the cylinders in the shape of a V.

Im not sure where you went and got those specs but my car is rated at 200hp, 2.0 liter....i think your looking at the early 06 gti's...mine is a 06.5 new body style

[seeking]

yea thats the old mk4 body style with the 1.8t, for some reason that site doesnt list the 06.5's ...neitehr does edmunds.com...but these are the specs my car has

[c-towNsawedOFF]

even nicer, same HP as h22a4 (01 prelude)
car comes with alot of features to give it that race feel, stock turbo..woooo! yummy

[~The Guyver~]

This car would be fuckin fun to rip up pavement. Vw engines hold up under anything 2. Went and saw the Vw me and ym dad are drivin' its pretty gangster.

(Notices I drove NP's eclipse 2day :) )

And german concepts omg they have some of the wickedest fucking ideas its ridiculous. I wouldnt mind turning a Vw into a dragster.

[seeking]

vw's own on the auto-x as well :yes:


oh and if you didnt knwo allready, the new straight 5 cylinder vw's...that engine is the same engine in the gallardo....well half of it anyways...that might make your dad want it more

[~The Guyver~]

God damn.

Honestly he told me it was a 5 cylinder engine i was like wtf. Didnt really hear 2 much about 'em. Lol. But shit as cheap as it is, and its turbo charged ill sport it. Things clean as hell 2.

Wish I knew more about german cars, but we havent worked on 2 many of 'em. Mainly american, and japanese cars are what goes through our shop.

Dads friend Danny knows quite a bit, but still dont got the greatest amount of experience. But yea its pretty much decided we are getting it.
