At least Volkswagen used already available components.

This is no worse than the Saab Aero-X Concept of 2006.

Whether GM spent Billions to create some show car just to divert people's attention on Saab's financial woes.

They probably will use it on the R32...or maybe in the Jetta.

Few billions? You know how much is that?

Yeah, it costs much, but for companies like VW that's absolutely nothing since we speak about one single car.

Simple show off and nothing else.

this is what a veyron on a diet would be
not much different in concept and execution
just increasing power meant an increase in weight and the ensuing technical difficulties
