Volkswagen Golf GTI W12 650 Concept (2007)

Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Limousine (1964)

The Mercedes-Benz 600 was a large luxury automobile. It was intended to represent the absolute pinnacle of automobile engineering. The 600 was so heavy that a massive 6.3L V8 engine with overhead camshafts and Bosch mechanical fuel injection was specially developed to move the vehicle. Adjustable air suspension gave the car a smooth ride and good handling over any road surface, although the car’s agility was inevitably compromised by its mass.
