a new 200mph car ....and its a VW GOLF!!!

Yep its true some nutters in Germany have gone and created a Volkswagen golf that can go as fast as a Lamborghini Gallardo as pictured here:

and as fast as a Ferrari F430 as pictured Here:














This is what the Super Golf looks like:

It Doesn't looks any better than the other two and it doesn't look that much different compared to the standard 3 door Golf. So it hasn't won me over on the looks department.

Where this Extreme Golf does win a few points in, is the engineering department, they have used the same engine that is used in the VW Phaeton, which is a expensive luxury saloon with a hugely wasted engine. The VW engineers have added an extra 200 BHP to the phaetons engine and stuffed it in this car, so it turns out a total of 641 BHP. This means the car can go from 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds (that's supercar speed) and reach a top speed of 202 mph.

As impressive as the figures are, VW have decided not to build this car for production, this is probably because they won't make any money from it, and you probably wouldn't be able to drive it on normal roads like all super cars.

SO my question is why make one in the first place?
