Not sure if I’d want one and especially now they make so much money 💵 - however they are a special car in today’s world.

How much are we predicting - my view 40/45k ish

2001 Volkswagen Beetle RSI - 19,828 KM

This Volkswagen Beetle RSi is one of only 250 examples of the rare performance-focused coupe, which has very low mileage from new. It is powered by a 3.2-litre VR6 engine, producing around 221bhp, which is sent to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and a ‘4motion’ four-wheel drive...

I never knew VW stuck the VR6 engine into these.

Looking back now to the early/mid 2000's, its mad to see what the likes of VW
was willing to finance and build, compared to now.

-Humble VW Golf V5 with the possibility of 2.3 Litre 5 cylinder or VR6 2.8 6 cylinder
-VW Phaeton, spent serious money to try and outdo the S-Class, massive fail.
-VW XL1, crazy hyper miler made from carbon fibre, surprised it left the motor show stand.
(Way ahead of its time though)
-Audi RS6 (C6), Who puts a bonkers 5 Litre V10 in an estate car!!
-Veyron...Mein Herr, will an 8 LItre 16 Cylinder Quad Turbo do you?
-VW Touareg, Just a 5 Litre V10 Tdi
-Audi SQ7, Know what this jacked up block of flats needs...a 6 Litre V12 Tdi
-R10 Le Mans Racer, How about sticking a 5.5 Litre V12 Tdi in your endurance racer
-And just to show it wasn't just purely reserved for very expensive cars, don't forget the VW Polo Gti
with the Super charged and Turbo charged 1.4 engine.

I'm probably forgetting a few others as well, from the no money limit, Piech era.
