Volkswagen Concept T





Return Of The Bug


Volkswagen is joining Land Rover in the new 'off-road coupe' market niche with this, the Concept T. Unveiled at the Detroit show, it's based on the running gear (3.2-litre V6, four-wheel drive, DSG transmission) of the Golf R32. VW reckons that the Concept T fills a gap in the market for 'highly capable off-roaders which also offer outstanding sports characteristics in on-road driving'. On the other hand, many will regard the T as a revival of the Beach Buggy. Bizarrely, it also uses the same forward-pivoting doors as the Range Stormer. The T can be run as a either a two-seater or a 2+2. It's also targa-roofed with a rear soft top.

i think something along these lines might make its way to production. the sport SUV niche is hot shit now and people would flip for this car. its a very cool looking ve hicle and it looks like a fun idea.

btw, how much does that spare in the back look like it weighs? i held my mom's old E500 sport rims and even those were pretty frickin heavy so these have got to be a ton.
