VW Nardo W12 starting-up / high revs

1/3 existing Volkswagen Nardo's hit the streets yesterday in Düsseldorf until it was loaded on a truck.
Five Nardo's were produced back in 2001 - according to the driver, three are still existing. A yellow one, a black and this red one.
Had the chance to see the black one back in 2009 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/30217550@N08/5799793140/in/photostream

Some details about the one shown in the video:
- engine was rated at producing 441 kilowatts (600 PS; 591 bhp)
- 621 newton metres (458 ft·lbf)
- 0-100 km/h (0-62.1 mph) took about 3.5 seconds
- top speed of 357 kilometres per hour (221.8 mph)
- weighing just 1,200 kilograms (2,646 lb)

It was one of the fastest sports car concepts in the world, created by Charlie Adair.
Volkswagen wanted to show what was technical possible back in 2001 - this will always be a concept car ; Volkswagen never wanted to start a production.
