Not your father's GTI

Video: Unveiling a W12-Powered Volkswagen Golf GTI:
"There's fast and then there's uber fast. The 200hp Volkswagen GTI is pretty peppy in its own right, but the German carmaker was far from satisfied. Thus, they created the Golf GTI W12 650 concept vehicle at Worthersee 2007 in Austria. They're saying that this is 'the ultimate GTI in every way', with its 0-62mph time of just 3.7 seconds. Keep the pedal to the metal and this rabbit on steroids will keep going and going until it tops out at around 325 km/h (201mph)."

Actually a 200 HP GTI doesn't sound too bad - 650 is just a bit over the top ;-)
