But it's just a Golf, with silly arches. If you want to do a proper concept car, make the world gasp. The reaction here shows how wide of the mark this kind of concept is. To me, this is a concept car:



as is this:



and this:



This is a Golf with fat arches, not a concept:

Semantics.
Its car.
It's a concept.

Do you have any friends that are female?...more than one?
Blimey how many girlfriends do you have exactly??!!

It's automotive conceptual functional sculpture.... I think.

Although it has yet to be seen in the flesh so we can't, either of us, be sure...

this is the DeadTom designs Wartsila Turbo Fury, or WTF for short.

it is mid engined, with the trademark 'slightly pissed, more longitudinal than transverse' engine mounting. the powerplant is a 14 cylinder turbocharged engine that has been tuned to produce a billion horsepower driving the rear wheels, and a honda Vtec sitting a bit pissed in/on the bonnet. It has dual wheels at the back for traction, triple wheels at the front for handling, and has 4 wheel drive and 5 wheel steering. the transmission is a 34 speed DSG with a 99.999999/0.0000001 F/R torque split.

it weighs about the same as the great pyramid at Giza and has a 0 - 60 time of 0.8 nanoseconds, with a top speed of warp 8.5

this is a design concept drawn up by me just now, in order to show what form future st drawings in MS paint could take. and before you ask, no its not for sale.

Yawwwn.

There have been more than a few turbo'd Golf VR6's out on the scene packing far more than 500bhp for year.

A boring, done already storm in a teacup. Nothing revolutionary at all.

No, writing only 24 words didn't really give one the time to pop an aspirin.
I had taken some since writing that full post however and felt ready to read your bleating digressions wink

The new pics look good, especially the headlights are nice. I guess some design cues from this, whatever you may call it, will pop up in future hot versions.

Utterly pointless. Grow some balls, make it real but a little more useable (say, a 350hp version), offer 20 at a ridiculous price, more than likely sell them all.

At least Renaultsport do things for real, whether that be the Clio V6 or the bonkers one offs such as the Espace F1 and Twizy F1.

I love how those arguing against the haters have to go to the other extreme and claim we have no interest in performance cars. See above, Renaultsport can do it, Mazda can do it etc etc, some of us then even get to enjoy seeing/hearing these at the FoS etc.

In that case, I have to assume you're stark raving bonkers. Unless you care to expand on what girlfriends (I'm married with kids FYI) and Golf concpet cars have to do with each other. Bar that no girl would ever want to be seen in that monstrous VW, of course....

If they would make them I'd be extremely excited. Hpowever as it is this story is just a waste of time. VW are simply too dull to ever make anything half as interesting.

Why?

I'm sure if it was an M3 with a twin turbo 500bhp engine and 4WD, then you'd love it, but as it's a VW you think it's st. Get over yourself badge snob
