1. forcing the engine to high rpm (without turbo)
2. putting turbo
the result in the horsepower is almost the same (if the turbo car is made for daily driving) and the torque is the only diff…
do you know what that means… it means you’re are really dumb, for real
and there’s is no diff in the hp of v12 and w12, the only diff is the w12 takes less place, fool

Well maybe not with the W12, but their more "sedate" 3.2 or 2.0 TFSI. VW group has built many concepts that became reality. This is peanuts compared to the development costs of the Veyron (and the rest of the Supercars that the group produces) I believe that this is the direct response (or backtrack) by VW to inject some excitement back into the brand (also with the Scirocco concept...and the recent "hip" VW adverts). The Golf has become bloated and big, and gotten far too costly and complicated than the "peoples car" that it was to be. Most of this slack in "excitement" has been taken over by Seat, but VW, being the only Global brand, something is still missing from markets that Seat does not penetrate.. The Golf lost its "fun" factor after the MK2 . Now that the new Clio no longer the demented mid engine monster, maybe VW will just jump in. But that doens;t mean it has no chance to get on the road.

They had a mk3 golf running 1000hp. its radiators were mounted on the rear tailgate, with huge air ducts just before the rear wheel wells feeding air to cool the radiators. with 4wd, launch control and the right gearing, the average 2.0 litre turbo WRC rally car with 300hp does 0-100km/h in 2.6 secs. very very nice styling.
