Ah but will it manage 72 mpg at an average of 62mph ? If not I can see many members here not buying one![]()
When it started up I did think it sounded a bit like a diesel...Ah but will it manage 72 mpg at an average of 62mph ? If not I can see many members here not buying one![]()

409 mph back in 1965. (wheel driven).
That's not a production model

How many Bugattis will be produced?
VAG are spending millions on these cars of which a mere handful will be made while we all wonder what we'll be driving in ten years - if we are driving at all. Waste of resources - in every sense.
Nah! I still hold the diesel record with Andy Green and the JCB Dieselmax at 350 mph....When it started up I did think it sounded a bit like a diesel...
Strange your on a car forum with that chain of thought. It's exercises like this which push forward the boundaries. Without achievements like this we would still be on horseback.
The tech used and the lessons learned will ultimately filter down.
It's technological progress and fascinating what can be done.
We're not going to agree on this....
But, it's precisely because I enjoy driving that I criticise this. I want VAG and the likes to be devoting their resources to cars available to us to drive at a time when our entire motoring (certainly ICE powered) could disappear for the want of suitable cars in the near future. VAG however think that committing huge resources to a millionaire's plaything is more appropriate. They can't get normal cars to the road without cheating but chasing 300mph with a car that, as has been mentioned, is unlikely to be an actual road car is a priority never mind that it is an insignificant achievement in overall terms of speed.
It's exercises like this that will put us back on horseback. There really isn't any place for this. Wake up VAG. The world is seeing Greta Thunburg sail the Atlantic while VAG crow going 110mph slower than was achieved in 1965.
Same with F1, BTCC, WRC ...but the technical lessons learnt trickle down to all VAG road cars.

You miss the point -

One needs these extreme, no cost developments to explore potential advancements
