Hmmm, so let me see, a work of art, why don't we make a poll and ask a bunch of artists which car pleases the aesthetic sences more. A Ferrari coupe that looks like a copy of a million other coupe designs, or something that combines sculpting of air in to engineering prescision. Hold your prejudice back and view the design of that GTI W12-650 like a fine sculpture, and let it speak for itself... Work of art, oooooo, you know how to get me started don’t you.

The W12-650 may look like a mass produced car, but is it really? These same VW engineers made the 1001 bhp Bugatti Veyron engine remember, where it is estimated that each car cost about 5 million in R&D. You can't even put a price tag on the GTI W12-650. Pound for pound, there's more man hours and passion spent on the production of this VW then any Ferrari, but obviously they're different markets. You can either buy a car to drive from A to B, to increase your chances of attracting for sex, or you buy a car to enjoy the engineering excellence of the 21st century and the driving experience resulting from that. I know where the GTI W12-650 fits in this scheme..... And you think the VW engineers aren’t as passionate? or that VW hasn’t spent a lot of research and development in it’s products?

Ferraris are more like hand-made <i>works of art</i> though. I was invited on a tour of the main Ferrari UK centre - Maranello Sales - a little while ago. It's not until you see the inside of the engines that you can appreciate just how much love and attention to detail goes into these cars. Really amazing...
