VW makes some great cars. I was watching an old episode of Top Gear on the BBC and VW shoved a W-12 from a Bentley in to a GTI. It was pretty bada** but like most great concepts it will never make production.

I have seen that car in person. I am a member of a VW club in DC called Capital Dubs, and the VW of America HQ is near there. They have sponsored car meets at their facility and bring out the fun factory vehicles. It is loud as hell, but does not run very well. The last time I was there it was broke down

It's a scary concept a engine that big in a car that small. It would be a sight to see and hear and I'm sure an engineering nightmare!!
