Engine and interior shots were curiously absent last week when Volkswagen unveiled its holy-crap-I-want-one GTI W12 650 concept at the 2007 Wörthersee GTI Meeting in Austria. The interior photo shown after the jump appeared a day or two later, and this week, the automaker saw fit to release a pair of official pics of the engine in its glassed-off carbon fiber cocoon aft of the driver and passenger.

As Vader would say of this 650-horsepower Stormtrooper helmet, “Impressive. Most Impressive.”

Follow the jump for the other engine shot and the interior view. In addition, we’ve added all the new pictures to the gallery.
