Title: Goft W12
Post by: Johnny_tro on August 25, 2011, 01:03:59 pm

Was there only ever one produced of these? just a demo/showcase vehicle?

I think so.

I saw it a few years ago at GTI International.

Looks good, and bet sounds awesommme.

Not sure about the look of it from the front though.

Did you get to look in/around it?

Topgear did an article on it a couple of years ago.


Infact:

Bit thrown together apparently, never been made though.

What's a Golf W12  :grin:

Hlf the bits on it didnt work when it was on Top Gear, more of a demo of engineering as mentioned. 

Beast though

Saw it at Inters, a mad bit of kit!!  Great effort by the VW engineers as a quick-turnaround design study.  :happy2:

TG didn't do it justice, plus Clarkson drove it like a muppet.  :stupid:

I'm sure it was said it was a rush job as they forgot to make something for Wörthersee and threw this together with bits from various VAG companies
