VW Golf GTI W12 Concept body kit by Exclusive Tuning Worldwide - low res

Priced at a wallet-busting 12,000 euros

A couple of years ago Volkswagen unveiled their shocking Golf GTI W12-650 Concept at the annual Wörthersee, Austria Golf owner's meeting and now Dutch tuner Exclusive Tuning Worldwide has created a new body kit that is nearly a dead-ringer for the original.

Priced at an astounding 12,000 euro (about $15,550 USD) the body kit features a new front bumper with a huge air intake, massive side skirts, and 18-inch GTI wheels. At the back there is a new rear bumper, a revised hatch, and a working quad exhaust system.

Unfortunately the GTI concept's 650PS 6.0-liter bi-turbo W12 engine isn't part of the package, but the exterior styling can outfitted to any three-door Golf V. Available in any color combination an owner desires, the styling transformation takes 2-3 weeks and everything including the body kit, assembly and painting comes with a warranty from Worldwide Exclusive Tuning.

Can you have "near dead-ringer"? Never been a fan of sheep in wolf's clothing.

I can have a second MKV Golf for 12k, so I think this is a joke!

Now your diesel econobox can have that performance-like feel to it! The badge on the rear will add in excess of 600 virtual hps! Don't miss the opportunity of ruining what little design the Golf had in it...

I think it has some style potential. It is just take to extreme, bit too wide. If it is just scale down a bit it could maybe look great.

I love the kit HOWEVER whats the point of making your fine looking Golf look like this if you don't have a W-12 stuck in there?

I think the actual W12 golf looks alright but this kit on a regular golf is a joke.

it looks good. good idea. v12 in a golf is just silly. and it would all be looks. so now you get the same thing without a huge fuel cost.
