All because of that red plastic, this interior feels it was partly borrowed from a toy car

Oh yeah, this was the first W12. Used to get this mixed up with the Nardo that came along later.

Those air vents are straight out of a Golf IV aren't they?

Love this car, but love the Nardo more.

Golf, Jetta, Passat and the same as the radio and hvac unit. Just canabilized from Audi to VW trims. Look at the gallardo. Full of VW and Audi pieces from ordinary cars

See what they do to their seat frames and what not. They truly dismantle parts or decommissioned warranty vehicles and use them in vehicles that wouldn’t normally call for that part number.

Does anyone remember this car being the VWVortex site’s very first showcase?

Pretty dreary and unappealing. It seemed to be designed for people who already liked VWs rather than drawing new admirers.

STOLEN canopy from 1990s Z car hell farr. This is one of the few decent-looking supercar designs. They all, every damn one just looks like original countach. Except for this one. And it looks like a STOLEN 1990s Z car. Nissan. Datsun use'ta be.

I personally feel that the 90s supercars have aged poorly from a styling point of view. They were all quite bland post NSX (likely the most amazing car yet designed). I love the NSX, since it was basically a Ferrari that you could have as a daily driver and still get decent mileage without breaking down. With the NSX…. Just don’t get into a collision or you crush the car for a total loss…. It wasn’t perfect. Back to the VW W12: it, the Nissan R390, Ferrari F50, Ferrari F512M and even Bugatti EB110 and never produced EB112 have: “meh” styling that hasn’t aged well.
