Translated news stories rule...but this GTI is ruler of all. The Clio was outrageous; this...this is a factory special for the ages.

Anyone want to see a track test of this badass against the Carrera GT-imitating HPA R32? I do.

The pictures are obviously screenshots from a game. I smell a hoax.

LeftLane doesn't think so.

VW W12 GTI

Games look good these days, but they don't look THAT good.

I went looking for references to this event online. There are a ton of articles about this car, but they're all reprints from the same sources, and they all have the same pictures. If the unveiling actually happened, where are all of the amateur camera phone shots?

I used to work in games. I don't know what to tell you except that I'm absolutely certain that those are renders. Renders do look that good; for example, check out http://generationdreamteam.free.fr/afrika/...lLifeXanavi.jpg.
