Volkswagen just revamped up its Golf GTI by cranking the power to 650 horsepower. Unfortunately for you, this GTI is just a concept but hopefully a version will find its way into dealerships in the next year or so. The Golf GTI W12 650 concept accelerates from 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 201 mph (325 km/h).  Lower and wider than a stock GTI, the body retains the production car's doors, hood and lights, but otherwise it's all new. A number of intakes and a redesigned C-pillar help feed air to the 12-cylinder behemoth supplying the go-power. To keep the car planted to the tarmac, VW didn't want to use a massive spoiler to generate downforce. As such, the car's carbon-fiber roof acts as a giant diffuser that funnels air under the small spoiler at its trailing edge. In summary, the whole thing is a big exercise in the awesome.
