At the Worthersee 2007 meet for VW enthusiasts, Volkswagon pulled the wraps off the GTI W12 650 concept. A 6.0L biturbo 12 cylinder sits behind the front seats, dishing 650 horses to the rear wheels. Top speed is said to be over 200 mph, and it goes from 0-62 in 3.7 seconds.
But this is a Concept car.........
To me, the best is 2007 Volkswagen GTI 5-door GTI.
Volkswagen gave us its 2.0-liter, direct-injection turbo in 2005 (in the Audi A3) we marveled at the abundance of power and the lack of turbo lag. That motor is much like King Midas: everything it touches turns to car-enthusiast gold. Thanks to that sweet engine, both the Jetta GLI and three-door GTI have taken blue ribbons in our comparison tests and, with addition of a five-door GTI, Volkswagen has yet another championship contender on its hands.
Price: The price of entry for VW's sporty five-door hatch is $23,230, or $500 more than the three-door.
