I'm getting to the point where I prefer alcantara over a pure leather interior. When done right, it's awesome.

Alcantara is synthetic material.

Alcantara is faux-suede.
But even real suede is just cow skin (or deer or pig), so it's no worse than leather.

This hot hatch is now a scorching hatch! It looks superb and with that W12 it's obvious it has all the go along with a very conservative appearance. Two thumbs up! a winner in my books.

wow... it's even got RWD... that would make this like the anti-vdub, since there hasn't been a rwd vw/audi in decades.

It better have RWD; otherwise torque steer would wrench the steering wheel of this dangerous beast right out of your hands. I have to admit that VW did a fabulous job on the interior.

Does a dry ice dispenser (for the white smoke effect) come with the car?

I like the GTI/Golf/Rabbit, I really do. But this is as dumb as giving steroids to a butterfly.

I doubt you'd see anyone driving this in the U.S.

Americans are consistently unable to equate 2-door hatchback with meaning fast car.

huu76 and TheSailor: are you guys talking about the Curtiss Model 81A P-40 aircraft or the present-day missile?
