Volkswagens 2nd "try" at supercar excellence

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

I wouldnt buy the VW supercar as long as they maintain making soft and confortable cars with AWD such as the Murcielago, the Gallardo or the Continental GT...im sorry but my point of view resembles a lot with the Tiff Needells and its quite different from Jeremy Clarksons

[mclaren_Gt]

Volkswagen make a production of this car
or is only a concept???

[Sir_GT]

Like somebody stated, the problem lies with the VW brand name...

VOLKWAGEN = people's car in german

take note of the word "people"

which would connotate the word "masses"

or the "public"

NOT

the "elite".

Dr. Piech's problem is very simple... his problem is that he's stupid for not being aware of what VW actually means. That is why VW will NEVER be able to justify a high price tag for any of its cars.

^ badging and name isn't all that say about the car company ^.

the VX220 is and VX220 turbo are both Vauxhall but ppl buy them because they're amazing.

you can't go by wut the company's rep.

The Nardo/W12 was ready to go in production. But at the time it was ready (2002) the world economy collapsed and Piech left his position. This project was one of the prestige-projects which were cancelled by Pischetsrieder (Piechs continuator). At that time the new developing Golf was already too expensive, so was the Polo, the Phaeton was just launched and doing bad. Pischetsrieder wanted VW to make VOLKSwagens again and no predating between the VAG-brands anymore. So the Nardo was cancelled at the last moment...

If they switched out the VW for the "4 rings" i might pay a million, otherwise....150,000 tops

[racingfreak]

to an audi... your kidding right? Wont pay that much for either!

[bmwmpower]

wolkswgen V12 is down,they turn off project,

[FordGTGuy]

the nardo is a very ugly car its in PGR2.

[wolfster]

or they could build the audi le mans prototype with it's bi-turbo v10..which could compete with the Ford GT

[HeilSvenska]

Which will not have Biturbo V10 in its production guise.
