Not bad, tops out at 143, 0-60 in 6.3 seconds, 620 miles on 8 gallons of gas.

 

whoa, great mpg.. definitely different looking

 

Wow... I wonder how much those are going to cost. That's freakin awesome though. Fingerprint activated settings that can limit the power/speed/handling of the car for your kids if you don't want them to go fast.

 

i havent read the vw forums..what makes this car have that great of a gas mileage and still have a very respectable 0-60 time??

 

Wow, it's pretty quick and gets AWESOME GAS!

 

great gas millage, too bad it looks kinda stupid.

 

it kinda looks like a TVR from the front. i would definatly drive that thing if the rear wasnt so ugly

 

i take that back after looking at it i love the thing it looks good

 

It's a Deisel and it weighs 1800 Pounds, and probably the instant torque spike it has.


I LOVE this car, But I bet it'll be $40,000+ so it defeats the purpose, but I want one, it looks kewl, and OF COURSE I would mod it too, if you can get a Dually to run an 11, immagine what this bad boy coudl do with some boost?

 

I'm guessing the production model if they come out with it would be made out of aluminum instead of carbon fiber. Otherwise it would be really expensive... If they made it for $25,000 I bet it would dominate the market. mazda miata, pontiac solstice, saturn sky, bmw z3/z4.. none of those would have a chance. Well maybe the miata would have a chance since they have diehard fans...

 

Yeah but it's not called a Miata anymore, they are trying to skip away from that monkier and just call it a more MANLY MX-5.

 

See this is the kinda **** I'm talking about, I haven't read about it but I'm very curious how they got that mpg with decent performance. Hell 5yrs ago 7.3 was pretty fast. Why can't american car companies do that. lastly, if it is a VW they finally got smart and realized that they are an awesome inudustrial company and make cool cars but people don't like that big a$$ VW logo on a $60k car. Being owned by VW hasn't stopped anyone from buying the new Bentley Coupe or four door (saw one at Starbucks two days ago) but they have a huge maketing challenge. They want VW to have the same conatative meaning as BMW or Mercedes. They should hire me.

 

VW has no plans to produce this car as of now.

 

gas company will try to band this car
