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 rear

Full story

Was this the car that they revealed at the VW-area in Reifnitz?

When i was walking there, i saw a car under a white sheet. We thought that it was a Iroc or an other VW "concept"...

But THIS :eek: :thumbup: :eek: :thumbup:

Lets build this shit! But only 10 or 20 off them so it would be really exclusively! :woowoo:

This was probably the one. VW also officially introduced their "Volkswagen Individual" line there.
