Before the Bugatti Veyron, there was the Volkswagen Syncro W12 concept, which made its debut in 1997 at the Tokyo Motor Show. It was actually VW’s first sports car concept, powered by a 5.6-litre W12 engine producing 420 hp with Syncro four-wheel drive. The vehicle itself was designed by the Italdesign firm in Italy.
On a related note, did you know that on February 23, 2002, a Volkswagen W12 coupé took the world record for all speed classes over 24 hours over the Nardò Ring at Lecce? That’s right, it covered a distance of 4,809.8 miles at an average speed of 200.6 mph.
