Such a great design, although I wonder if a production version would've been commercially successful or more of a SLR/LFA.

Absolutely wohld have gone the same way as the LFA—nobody dropping supercar money wants a VW badge on the front. It'd be hated when it was available and then lauded as soon as it was canceled for being a "mad moment" for an otherwise sensible company (sound familiar, Lexus?).

Isn't the owner Volkswagen itself?

They sold one privately and I believe it's this one.

They built 2 prototypes, this is the privately owned one, Italdesign have one in their museum.

Was always so unfair when the Cien or W12 showed up in the supercar festival. Not allowed to enter it for yourself but the AI is!

The Nardo W12 looks absolutely insane. So sleek and aggressive at the same time. A true legend that never got its proper spotlight.
