That car is a marketing exercise far more than an engineering one in a lot of ways i reckon.
Yeah but come on how reliable are cossies
I do suppose if you look at it that way then yeah it dont sound like much, but compairing a car like the bugatti to the cosworth is like compairing Beta-Max to DVD. Beta-Max was very very good for it time and so was the YB, and both laid down advances in tech that have lasted all these years. Just now everyone else has caught up so its time for the next step.
No doubt it was a marketing excerzise either cus VW can now say we can build better cars and we can prove it.
