This detailed video of of the Golf GTI W12 finally shows the car being put through its paces. Filmed by Autocar.co.uk this should hopefully dispel any rumors that may have been floating around as to validity of the claims VW held over the GTI W12's thoroughbred nature. Called the GTi W12-650, it uses a twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing a claimed 553lb ft torque. The engine, borrowed from the luxury end of the VW range usually found in the Phaeton must have taken some design planning to wedge

After being a little disappointed at seeing the static display at GTI International last weekend (see this post re. the rev counter issue), I was quite happily suprised to see this video of the W12 finally showing the car moving under it's own steam. While not the fastest of videos, more showing the car being driven at a less than lesuirely pace, and camera work to rival the Blair Witch Project it does at least finally show the car driving around. There is a brief section early on during the video

By T10HJP : On hearing that the W12-650 was going to be at GTI International I jumped at the chance of some time off of work and jumped in the car with a few other forum members and headed off there. I took loads of pics of the W12-650 and was very happy with the quality of the picture that came out. On closer inspection of one of the interior pictures I noticed that something didn't quite add up, literally. Called the GTi W12-650, it uses a twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing a claimed 553lb

Woerthersee: Volkswagen yesterday unveiled a of a 6.0L W12 650PS (641bhp in our money) mid-engined Golf GTi design study. Called the GTi W12-650, it uses a twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing a claimed 553lb ft torque. The engine, borrowed from the luxury end of the VW range usually found in the Phaeton must have taken some design planning to wedge into the MK5 chassis. What does all this mean? A 0-100kph in just 3.7secs and a top speed of 184mph - although this must surely be a conservative estimate

Close up picture showing the rev counter. You can clearly see the odd numerical incrementation were the readout jumps from 70 - to - 60 then up to - 80 - rpm (x1000). Mistake or intentional?
