The last couple of days i´ve been at the "Autostadt" in Wolfsburg, the city where most VWs are build. They have a huge car museum with many prototypes aswell. I took alot of pics and i think some of them are worth sharing with you guys. Unfortunately some of them are a bit dark cause the flash of my digicam wasn´t strong enough :oops:

That Diablo is soooooooooo beautiful!!

[Wutputt]

I'll use some smileys to express my feelings:

Miura :drool: Diablo GT :shock: Quattro :love:


Must have been an awesome visit. I've seen pics taken from the sky of Autostadt and it really looks impressive!

[martin100]

It´s indeed a dream for car enthusiasts to visit the Autostadt. Many oldtimers aswell. I´ve got some pics from some old Bentleys and more. If you want i can post them too but i first wanted to share more modern cars :wink:

[davide]

I really like the Touareg W12, it's just... HUUUGE! :D :D

[redbaron]

Is it still possible to come very close to those cars? I visited Autostadt in its first year and you could stand next to all cars, even the prototypes.

Did you also visited the official VW-museum at the dieselstrasse? It is worth a visit, lots of VW prototypes and other rare VWs.

[budagboy2]

Nice spottings...diablo looks sick. never knew they made a w12 touareg, do you know its stats?

[adamwich]

Very nice sightings! Thanks for the pictures!

[sandskater422]

that is one kick ass lambo and i must give u props for getting that awesome touregg

[Schwalbe]

This museum seems really interesting. I particularly like the W12 Nardo, the Avantissimo and naturally the red Sport Quattro. Thanks martin100 to shared your visit. :D

[martin100]

@redbaron
No i haven´t been in the official VW museum. Didn´t even know they had a separated one cause they got anything i can think of in the Autostadt...

@budagboy2
The Touareg has nearly the same stats as the Phaeton W12, but the engine is a bit stronger: 6.0 litre W12 engine,450bhp, 600nm of torque, 0-62mph around 6sec.

[bmagni]

damn, i just loove the diablo GT, nice pics

[a007apl]

tkx

[JoeHahn]

OH
MY
GOD!!

W12 Nardo is absolutely breathe taking - an awesome car on any account.

Thanks a heap for the pics!

[c0wb0y007]

Those cars are really breathtaking, fantastic collection you have photographed there.

The URquattro is more than 20 years old, but still is a fantastic roadcar so so nice.
I think that these pictures prove once again how big the VW-group has become.

About the Touareg W12; If my short term memory serves me well ... I think that only 500 W12's have been made, I heard this in a video I downloaded from draak666's server. They said that 350 have gone to Saudi Arabia and the rest for Europe.

Cheers

@cowboy007
You're right they really did only 500 W12 Touaregs i didn´t know anymore. They said it in the Auto Motor Sport review of the car.

No problemo mate.

Lucky you Martin100, you managed to catch one of them :D I have only seen a few V10 5L diesels. One of them had a lowered suspension kit and big fat alloys 8) STunning SUV :)
