It Almost Looks Like A Car Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Do you think vw would supply that body kit for my 2L 140psi diesel? Quote
Buzz Billsberry Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 It will never happen they'll never get a W12 in a golf unless they make it a 2 seater and the driver sits well back alternatively make it 2ft wider then it can be front wheel drive hence the lack of pictures of the engine bay Buzz Quote
Martin Keene Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 The GTI W12-650 mates a Golf GTI three-door bodyshell to a bespoke mid-mounted bi-turbo W12 650 PS engine channelling drive to the rear wheels I *need* to have go in that... Quote

These are the closest you'll get to engine bay & drivetrain shots: http://www.apsik.cxc.pl/images/20070515/index22.html Quote
ChrisG Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Interesting..... (the engine is) "extremely compact in design, measuring only 513 mm in length, 715 mm in height and 710 mm in breadth" How does that compare against an LS1 for example? Quote
Neil Purdie Posted May 24, 2007 Author Posted May 24, 2007 Morning Buzz..... Had a change of thoughts then Quote
Buzz Billsberry Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 You can always rely on Buzz to comment before reading the piece thoroughly Incorrect as I did read it and as I said they'd never get a W12 in to a golf what they have done is put 2 xV6's side by side and that is not aW12 (V12)as in the big Vdub or the Audi A8L and we can always, but always rely on Peterg not to know anything about engines a W12 is V12 not two V6's side by side Buzz Quote
