Did you watch that episode already? Looks like it's the newest one which aired a few days ago.

I haven't seen the video yet, but saw stills from it. The corvette clearly was an '04 Z06 with the commemorative C5R paint job which comes with the suspension package.

No, it's a VR6. VW does have a couple of engines that they call the W8 and W12, but no W6. The W8 is in the top of the line Passat, while the W12 is in the new Phaeton. The W engines are basically two VR6s stuck together (with a few cylinders chopped off the end in the case of the W8).
