Concept R
VW's new prototype has some interesting features that include an adjustable cockpit that moves the dashboard including the steering wheel back and forth instead of having to move the drivers seat. I don't see much of an advantage to it but its pretty cool anyway. It's powered by a 265 HP V6 which may seem a little inadequate but makes the concept capable of 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and top speed of 166 MPH

W12
It started out in 1997 as a concept car to showcase the new W12 engine. It wasn't expected to be put into production but Volkswagen now plans to produce both a coupe and convertible version. Around 300 will be produced in the first year. For any doubters, the W12 broke record after record during a high speed testing averaging almost 182 MPH for 5,000 miles straight to break the previous record of 173 held by the Corvette LTS.
