From those pics, it's tough for me to get a good idea of what it looks like. First impression is that it looks kinda boring to me. The engine specs look quite nice, but there's no mention of weight. I dunno why, but the car looks heavy to me. the non-adjustable foam seat thing seems neat, but there's no way that would ever make it to production. At any rate, one can never have too many roadsters, so I hope they build it.

 

RWD VW? Is this a first?

Looks beautiful. Like a baby carerra GT.

The original bug was rwd.

 

VW sure makes some nice prototypes!

 

If this is less than 2500 pounds and sees the light of day with anything close to the same set-up as this concept... it will be very hard to resist. Wow.

 

It's a mid engined, rear wheel drive car.

Powered by a 3.2l VR6. Damn, that is sweet.

 

I'd bet $100 that this won't arrive at under 2500 pounds. Very few cars weigh that little these days; even a loaded Miata is within a hundred pounds, and it has barely half the horsepower that this concept has.

Also, we can infer from the power rating and acceleration times that the concept probably weighs 3000 pounds or a bit less; it's unlikely that it would lose weight in the translation to production-readiness.

Wow, I like it!!! I'd love to see this come out.
