Was about to post it as well, would have if I didn't check this very stealthly named post.

- 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 rear

0-100 3.7s

Of course it wont go into production, just like the .:R GTI wont. These cars are for R&D to play with ideas and see what works and what doesn't. Having said that it's not crazy to think that we could see a production spec Mid-engine Golf.
