Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

          fark me.... that looks AWESOME!

          its good to see car companies are still coming out with insane cars.

          Car looks awesome, engine sounds like it would OWN..... and yeah... looks like a well sorted package.

          only think i don't understand is why VW went RWD and not AWD.

          i wonder if is comes to OZ.... cause i'd get one

            I L-O-V-E LOVE IT!

            the only issue i can see with this car is: people drive gti's because they are a value for money fast car..... i think this might be out of the price range of most gti drivers

            also, i can see that JC (topgear) will have a problem with it - with all those cylinders in the back, how can he fit his chest of drawers in the boot?

            and another thing - i love in the official press release, the part about the dashboard switches where they note important functions like "turning off the ESP"

            love it!

              Who said they were making it? This wont get made, let alone reach Australia. It's a car for VW R&D to test ideas.

                Yeh it won't. Think of what VW are capable of producing, they could easily make cars to match m3's, they could of made the original w12 concept etc. etc. But i imagine they still have some of the original ideas which the company was foundered under, that being a peoples car. VW have always seemed kind of modest to me, they COULD make some insane motorcars but why bother when not everyone can have one.

                  True True, they won't make it but I am starting to save money and go over and steal it

                  If they brang it out I would rob a bank for a car like that.

                            It's got as much power as the Lamborghini Murcilago (which VW own), in a car that would be equivilent to the Renault Clio Cup car with it's modest 3.0 V6 midmounted like this is, it'd be awesome if they built it with the W12, but it they did it, it would more likely to have a more common motor, like the V8 out of the Audi S4

                            I remember reading that the W12 motor is not that good for high power as they come in N/A form, but since then they have come out with a turbo version for the Bentley haven't they?

                            This car is going into the "when I'm stupidly rich" list, because that's how much it would cost.
