Haha, that's awesome that their bringing it to WF! I forgot all about that car.

There better be at least one R8 there this year. Last year Riverside Audi tried to get one in time but, didn't make it.

Thats pretty cool. I remember seeing Jeremy Clarkson test driving one and he didn't much like it at all. I don't know what to think!

The problem with the Golf W12 is that it's 641HP and has little to no grip or handling. I bet it's a screamer in a straight line but, it just screeches everytime you try to make a turn at speed.

Ok so lets try to get them to run it at the drags during waterfest, then we will see if it is a screamer in a straight line or not.

Honestly, the w12 GTI is alright, but im not that excited to see it.

Just that you tube video alone makes me cringe, how do you design a car that can't turn at all? it's almost embarrassing for VW to showcase that car because it can't handle at all, i mean VW isn't known for 1/4 mile stuff, more handling, IMO. If you're gunna put all this time and effort into get a giant W12 into a GTI, why not take the time to make it handle and actually make a mark at the track? I'm sure it sounds nasty and everything, but personally i'm not gunna loose my shit over it. I'd rather see a insane Stg.3 s4 that can actually work the corners all day as well as run a 11.5 in the 1/4.

Just my .02
