This car was first shown at Tokyo Motor Show 1997 and continued to be presented here and there as a showpiece for the abilities of the Volkswagen Brand to develop a super sportscar.

In 2001, at the Tokyo Motor Show, Volkswagen Group released their most powerful W12 sports car concept yet, in bright orange (then also known as the W12 Nardò, referring to the Nardò Ring vehicle test track near the Italian city of Nardò). The engine was rated at 441 kW (600 PS; 591 bhp) and 621 N⋅m (458 lbf⋅ft) of torque; it could accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 3.5 seconds, and had a top speed of 357 km/h (221.8 mph), weighing 1,200 kg (2,646 lb).

On 23 February 2002, a Volkswagen W12 coupé took the world record for all speed classes over 24 hours over the Nardò Ring at Lecce, covering a distance of 7,740.576 kilometres (4,809.8 mi) at an average speed of 322.891 km/h (200.6 mph).


This VHS Film serves as a great time capsule which displays the car scene, the style, fashion and people of the time.
It shows the way of life and the way of doing things, from how the video is cut and recorded to what is shown and how it is shown as a whole.


The Film was captured as good as the material and the software allowed it, color corrections and sound fixes were made when possible.
The Film was not compressed and is uncut to give the viewer the truest experience.
