W12 Golf

In May VW unveiled a Golf concept with a 12 cylinder engine. The rear/mid mounted engine is twin turbocharged and generates 650hp. A couple notes:

  • Claimed top speed of 325 km/h
  • And 0-100 km/h (62 mph) of 3.7 seconds
  • 2 seater
  • Retains the production car's doors, hood and lights
  • Instead of spolier, carbon-fiber roof designed to work as massive diffuser
  • The Golf is the second largest-selling vehicle in the world, trailing only the Toyota Corolla
  • In June VW built the 25-millionth Golf
