This is not the ordinary Volkswagen that you see everyday. Originally created for a video game, but now thanks to the VW engineers' great effort. The GTI roadster has become an actual car, although it is not drivable, for now.






The Volkswagen GTI roadster concept showcase car comes with a huge rear wing, carbon fiber monocoque, 20" alloy sport rim and a small fire extinguisher fitted behind the driver seat. Under the bonnet, you can find the newly invented 3.0L V6 biturbo engine which is capable of producing 456 horsepower and 560 nm of torque. 0 - 100km/h in 3.6 seconds and the top speed is 307km/h.Well, these numbers are totally unexpected for a Volkswagen Car. The GTI roadster is also painted in red and black which give a nod to its GTI heritage. The Gran Turismo in-game car is now available for downloading for all PlayStation 3 players.
