There's something mildly amusing about it, but I hope this isn't the future of the car as we know it. Can you imagine us all running round in these :D
 
That's been around for quite some time. What's more impressive is the gas mileage. or should I be saying kilometerage?

Fuel consumption is a mere 0.99 litre per 100 kilometres. With a 6.5-litre tank, this gives a range of some 650 kilometres without refuelling

Maybe VW has an insiders tip that the age for driving is to be lowered to 7 and this is their answer!

Nah, they do make more than one concept car at a time you know. :D I believe this is their high speed option.

Well Volkswagen has pulled a fast one (literally) and decided to unveil a W12 powered, rear-wheel-drive, mid-engined GTI at the tuner/drunk/party fest in Austria known as Worthersee. 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

However, I really wish they had come out with their GX3 concept.

All the R&D work of that project went into the KTM Crossbow.

They drove that W12 Golf on Top Gear (UK) and said it was almost un-drivable!! Wouldn't corner!
