I have to say, this thing is pretty badass!! I am definitely digging the ideas behind this car.

Here is a good article:

Wow! That is pretty shwanky if I do say so myself. Thanks for the linkage

 

it looks like a RX8

LOL just kidding

 

crazy looking car. like some mesh of the Dodge Razor, S2000 (from the front), and Smart roadster. Toss in a little Mx-5ish bar of soap look to complete it. I can't tell if I like it or not

 

LOL I wondered how long it would take.

 

you have to like it. If not for the looks, for the idea behind it.

I mean, Coupe/T-top/Speedster all in one car!! fricken awesome! Though if anything makes it to prodcution, it likely won't be that feature. I can't say I would be sad at the idea of a cheap (I would hope), sporty, fuel sipper.

 

Plus, well, engine swap/FI!!

 

I love the speedster setup, it looks bad ***!

 

Looks like a twinkie...
mmmm... I'm hungry

 

The FC had a t-top and convertable.

 

I didn't know the FC was a T-top and convertible. How did they accomplish that? any pics.

 

The middle peice comes off.

 

I'm looking forward to the next Scirocco.

^^ I dunno... doesn't seem to make too much sense to me seeing as they have the new R32 which offers the exact same specs...

 

I know it's just my 2005 thinking, but that top looks like poopy. Back in the day though, that's a cool *** feature.

 

Same specs, but this will probably be a bit lighter and more of a sports car than the hatch that the R32 is. I like the way the concept looks, Volkswagen could sure use something with edge like this. Don't get me wrong, I do like the R32 and styling of their cars(still not totally sure about the new models) but nothing has edge like this one might. Who knows?

 

that about sums it up for me.

would be nice to be able to go from a car to a speedster depending on my mood. i love all the new light-weight drivers cars that are coming out. and the new muscle cars, and the new hybrid technologies.... exciting time to be a car enthusiast.

"even VW wants to be like the rx8"

 

What happens to the windsheild? It's really small in one of those pics...That's a car I'd like to see with an automatic top and windshield.

 

you can remove the front windshield and put in that smaller one to make it a speedster.

I'm pretty sure automatic top would defeat the purpose. I can't see a car which uses carbon fibre body work to save weight, slapping in a bunch of motors to operate a top, there by adding weight.

 

Haha, but it would be cool, don't deny. I'd really like to see this car come to production, would definitely be fun to look at if not rip around a track. Please VW? :fawk:
