Its the production spec W12, not out yet...these pics were just taken in Switzerland. Uses the same 420hp V12 found in the D1 sedan. Expect pricing in the $220-$250k area.

Not decided if its coming to the US or not.

I got these off of AF:

6.0 liter W-12 produces 600 horses and pushes the 2640 pound car to 217 mph at top speed, and from 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds

Yes, that's correct....the 420hp was the early projection number, its going to be rated at 600hp.

Yeeep. That's the kind of 'people's car' Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, and Mao envisioned. Talk about having to go downmarket to exploit emerging markets in China and Africa!

"Why, let them eat cake!"



(Cool car, just find it kind of ironic coming from a company named "Volkswagen". Kinda begs the question, "Welche Völker?")
