A new version of Golf GTI was released,it was a surprise because is not an usual Golf Gti.The car is powered by a W12 engine making 650 horsepower,right now the supercar is just a concept,but in the future…
. New features ? Check these out: a W12 Cylinders Engine, 477 kW at 6000 rmp and a magnificent design. What can you ask for more ? With so much power this GTI forwards in the top of the greatest cars. With the 6.0 liter bi-turbo engine the driver can reach beyond the 300 km/h barrier. More exactly the maximum speed of the Golf GTI W12 650 PS is 325 km/h. As for the body design, the engineers wanted to make it look like a race car. The Golf is equipped with 19-inch format tires, in the front with 235 model, while in the back it has 295 model. It is 1.88 meters width and 1.42 meters height. The designers said that they want to make it look a little with a coupe so they changed the body kit. Now, Golf 650 PS has the chassis with 80 mm wider in both sides, and the tires are moved with 80 mm to the exterior. This is another feature that makes the 650 PS a sport car. The roof of this car is built from a carbon-fiber material, looking very good and helps achieving more road grip, as the race cars. In the rear you can notice the two tailpipes, made out of chrome. The interior is again, race car style. The seats are covered in leather, the interior is equipped with a fire extinguisher and the driver panel includes the “flip-up switch covers”, as in a race car. The door trims were modified for weight reasons. The car still has many GTI characters and really looks like a GTI, only “upgraded”. They thought about every detail when designed this car.

Maserati Mc12

Maserati Mc12, a road car after the Maserati company produced the FIA GT Championship racing variant can not call it self anything else then a super car. The specialists say that it`s not more than a copy of Enzo Ferrari but taller, longer and wider.

Designed by famous car producers like Giorgetto Giugiaro and Frank Stephenson., the idea for this super car was born even from the time that Ferrari owned Maserati company. They wanted a race car that could match the standards to compete in FIA GT.

With a first name like MCC (Maserati Corse Competizione), the car couldn’t be anything else but a race car.

With a design of the V12 engine that allows equally the distribution of weight, the two door coupe has a luxurious interior made of a mix of gel dressed up in carbon fiber, another very expensive silver material named Brightex, and also the blue leather that gives the wonder car a special look.maserati-mc12.jpg

The exterior it isn’t going to look down to the interior. The body made of carbon fiber it’s design to help the car achieve the maximum down force in all kinds of roads. Longer and wider then a Hummer, Maserati Mc12 comes only in two colours: white and blue, being dedicated to the America Camoradi racing team of the 1960s.

The V12 Ferrari engine has 232 kilogram, 6 litre (5998 cc) that makes the car touch a maximum torque of 652 Nm (481 lbf-ft) at 5500 rpm and a maximum power of 463 kw (621 bhp) at 7500 rpm. This super car can reach 100 km/h in just 3.8s and 200 km/h in 9.9s and has a maximum speed of 330 km/h.

Even if some people can say that it has a couple of disability like no radio or sound system and it can be a little harder to park because of it’s large size, the comfortability and the luxury of the interior combine with the look and the feeling of the car speeding on any kinds of roads can really deserve the high price of 600.000 euro.
