VOLKSWAGEN - PLEASE BUILD THIS!
Imagine an affordable, uncommonly economical and highly agile mid-engine roadster that is simply gorgeous to behold. Its name: Concept BlueSport. Status: concept. Dynamics: pure. Positioning: genuine, low-emissions roadster that makes every mile a driving experience.
The Concept BlueSport is evolving into a car that is a lot of fun to drive and at the same time makes an unmistakable statement in terms of sustainability. The fact is: if the Concept BlueSport were to go into production it could herald in a renaissance of the compact roadster.
Volkswagen defined just two objectives in the car's development: maximum driving fun and minimal fuel consumption. And so a mid-engine 2 litre turbo diesel sports car was implemented that makes no compromises, that aims at low weight and maximum agility right from the start.
Although it is best in its class when it comes to body rigidity, the Concept BlueSport weighs in at less than 1,200 athletic kilograms that will go from 0 to 100kph in less than 6.2 seconds. With all that in such a beautiful package, we could be witnessing the renassiance of Volkswagen!
