Volkswagen has given the people
at Wörthersee something to dream about. It has become a part of Volkswagen’s
tradition to show off its Golf GTI in the
This year is the time for the
Golf GTI W12-G50 show car to show off what it got. This particular GTI is a
one-of-a-kind Golf. It’s broader, stronger, and above all faster. It runs like
the Pace Car of the 24 Hours of
The 6.0 liter of Biturbo engine
that the Golf GTI W12-G50 possesses is longitudinal and placed directly behind
the driver and the front seat passenger. ---This is what precisely
distinguished Golf GTI W12-650 from the rest of the classical central engine
car.
The Golf GTI W12-650 is also
equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission that transfers 750 Newtonmeters
to the rear axle. This enables the Golf GTI W12-650 to sprint from 0 to 100
km/h in 3.7 seconds. Its top speed is 325 km/h which by the way is far beyond
what world’s supercars can achieve.
Golf GTI W12-650 was made
possible through the collaborative efforts of automotive engineers and
designers. They were responsible for giving the GTI W12 650 its 1.88 meters
spread and 1.42 meters flattened body. The chassis components of the Golf GTI
W12-650 were derived directly from supersports car. The wheels are made from a
light alloy and because of its gigantic wheel dimensions a specially engineered
tire had to be produced exclusively for the GTI W12-650.
Despite the tremendous power
that the GTI W12-650 provides the fact still remains that it is a Golf GTI and
would therefore be quipped with GTI parts and car accessories although not
entirely the whole entire component lineup but some important parts that will
give hints of its being a GTI.
Unfortunately despite the
powerful performance of the GTI W12-650 there is still a problem which regards
to manner of supplying the 6-liter central engine with ample amount of air and
to produce enough drift at the rear axle without damaging the silhouette of the
Golf GTI W12-650. To solve this problem the C-Columns were re-designed in such
a way that they lead air to the engine. The rear side windows were also made to
run inward to make the two channels between the disks and the C-columns on both
sides to drive air into the engine.
The HAMANN F430 has also great
things to offer in terms of interior. It is furnished with Alcantara leather
and on the middle range of the armatures are three rows of auxiliary
instruments. The transparent “Flip UP” switch guards for central functions are
derived from the race track.
Fire extinguishers are
integrated in the place of the glove compartment to give the impression of the
race. And due to weight reasons the door linings are completely “stripped” and
only lattices are used to provide a complete view of the interior mechanics of
the door.
