This thing looks sick. Gives me hope that VW hasn't gone to the dark side completely (aka Toyota wanna-bes)

thats really sad that people are just now seeing that?

its been publicized for about 4 months now.

WOW...That thing is sick..I would guess it would run about 40K if it was for sale.

1. no need to be an a-hole, he just wanted to share
2. i'm sure the price would well exceed $80,000, i think i remember seeing a figure for this car in the hundreds of thousands

 

[LENNY127]

I dont have 40k in handy , but sure as s*** i would get it to buy that car for it , 650 hp for 40k .......that will be the day

yes dad

I think it looks terrible, but the engine is pretty cool. Its like a mini Veyron.

 

[RelliMS3]

yes dad

ha, i'm not being some authority figure, just trying to keep this place friendly, apparently you don't care about that.

 

[FRUCTOSE]

You would think a 12 cylinder twin turbo car would have more power but I guess not. I wouldn't want it to anyways. I would never buy this car. If I wanted a car that had those #'s I would get a c6 ZO6.
I don't like how it looks. Hatches are not supercars!!!!

I would like to drive it though!

 

[clos561]

thats ridiculous..im getting one..........that thing is gona be well over 100k

 

[Adammazda06]

i wonder how soon miscellaneous dash lights would start coming on?

 

[grazzmaster]

Ya, but can a 2008 VW R32 taint the MS3?

bwhahahahaa. try 80k

They only made one so far, right? How can you price it? The engine and transmission alone probably cost $80K. LOL subby for comparing it to a MS3.

My wife and I are planning on getting a MS3 sometime next year. In the meantime, my father has purchased a 2008 R32 and has asked me to drive it until Spring while he's out of state. Seriously, I've driven both cars, and I'm wondering if the VW is gonna taint my experience with the MS3.

The post was originally meant as tongue in cheek (note the winky emoticon in the title).

I just find it funny that they put a W12 in the back seat. All things considered I'd take the praticality of the MS3 over the VW even if it was affordably priced. I also found it refreshing to find that VW didn't loose it's balls. The newer VW's make no attempts to conceal their focus on Toyota models. The Jetta in particular is very close to looking like a Corolla.

Yeah, I saw that a while back...
MS3 Competition? Psssh no way. Thats a vette killer rotfl.

Hatches are not supercars!!!!

Supercar is ANY car that pushes the limit on speed, radical design, power, handling, etc,etc. Just because it doesn't look like a Ferrari, it don't mean it can't be a supercar. (thumb)

I like it, it looks sooo different, but if a had money, I don't think I would buy it. Unless I had mad money to be a car collector. I think they were trying to test a new concept and they really succeeded at that.

 

[TheDutchGun]

They can't possibly be building this as a production car.....

Still not a supercar! All the did is put a huge engine in the back of a small hatch, and change a few things on the looks. Hardly a supercar. I call that a street rod.
