NASTY! I'd beat it up. Looks like an auto to me dont see DSG either but its looks like some paddles are hiding on the wheel.

THAT THING IS BAD !!!!!! :prove: :jawdrop: :thinking:

[Variance]

This is like the old Renault Clio Sport, but even more insane. I love it.

[LDadrenaline]

i wonder how much this throws off the handling of the car though, pretty badass



kenny wasnt that renault a midengine car though?

[Variance]

Yes LD, the Renault was mid-engined.

i had a hard time believing it but this is actually made by VW.... i think it would look much better if they didnt widen the entire side of the car.... like just flare the fenders instead of a full widebody like that. i wonder how long before replica kits are available?

The air ducts definitely need to be in place in order to cool the engine. I would imagine everything had to be widened to fit such a massive engine in there. I really want to know how balanced this vehicle is and how it handles. Too bad this is only a concept with only one built :(

[944attack]

wow, that is quite an amazing car. :eek:

the mid mounted W12 is amazing, not to mention the great looking wide-body kit!

[Alagonmotors]
