The Very Ultimate VW GTI






So the pretuned story line by V-DUB continues on. So as another shot across the bow at would be Japanese Import Tuners, here comes another rendition of the GTI. Dubbed the GTI W12, it is a one-off creation, built to show at the Woerthersee VW/Audi modified car gathering in Austria. Uh, it's a Phaeton engine...Whewwww.....twin-turbocharged W12; 641hp, to be precise, or 650PS (hence the name). It also packs 553lb-ft of torque. VW reckons it will run from 0-62mph in 3.7sec, and head on to 202mph, which is pretty much on a par with a Porche 911 Turbo. mailto:D&%5E#@%#@. And we thought the R-GT line up for the Passat and Jetta were forces to reckon with.
