Looks almost identical to the Renault Clio V6. I'd drive one.

"Looks almost identical to the Renault Clio V6. I'd drive one."

Interesting you mentioned that-it really does look like the Clio- it also reminds me of the Renault R5 Turbo V6 that pre-dated the Clio.

I unfortunatly drove the non-sport version of that car- we called it the "Le Car" in the states.

Short version:

- 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

Mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive 650hp twin-turbo W12 powered GTI concept.

Yikes!

For some reason I'm fascinated by this, maybe because it's so PI.
AutoWeek featured it.
"...to 62 mph ...in just 3.7 seconds, with its top speed at 202 mph."


The R5 Turbo.
