VW BlueSport - mid-engined!
This is the Volkswagen Concept BlueSport, as shown at the Detroit US Auto Show this week.
It has a mid-mounted, VW 2.0-litre TDI engine producing 134 kW and 350 Nm. Power goes to the rear wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch DSG gearbox.
It can go 0-100km/h in 6.6 sec and reach 225 km/h, yet uses just 4.4 litres /100 km, and emits only 113 g/km of CO2. It can also be fitted with VW's Eco-mode stop-start system with brake regeneration, for even greater efficiency.
Not planned for production - yet - but what a nice machine !
