This is it. The annual meetup for owners and enthusiasts of the legendary W12 engine developed by VAG used in some of the most significant cars to grace public roads. From the first all-aluminum unibody to the first 12 cylinder with all-wheel-drive to the fastest sedan ever. The era of the W12 has been one of the most significant for flagships. This event is designed to pay homage to one of the greatest engines of all time.

This short weekend meetup will take place in the beautiful Great Lakes state of Michigan and includes an evening of show and tell as everyone meets up downstate, breakfast the following morning and a quick drive North for some of the most scenic roads in the entire Midwest while the autumn leaves begin to change, with checkpoints for food and sightseeing. There will be many opportunities for picturesque photos for the entire duration.

Registration is free and open to all owners of W12 models including the A8, Phaeton, Touareg, Continental, Flying Spur and Bentayga.
