2007 Volkswagen GTI W12-650 Concept

Since its debut in 1976, the VW Golf GTI has been an icon for a long time now. 
In 2007, the special GTI W12-650 Concept was designed and presented 
for the fans of the GTI at the annual GTI celebration event at the Wörthersee in the Austrian state of Kärnten.
No Golf has ever been more powerful, or wider, or faster. 
The GTI W12-650 gives the appearance of having come directly from the racetrack. 
A Golf that could be the pace car for the 24 hour race at Le Mans. 
Its name is its mission: W12 cylinders, 650hp and 553 lb-ft. of torque. 
It catapults the GTI to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.  
The bi-turbo propels drivers who keep their foot to the gas pedal well beyond the 300 km/h barrier. 
The speedometer needle does not pause until it reaches 325 km/h.  
The Volkswagen Golf GTI W12-650 Concept outpaces nearly all other cars of this world.
