VW T concept is a funky crossover

06 January 2004: Detroit Auto Show - Volkswagen has unveiled to North America its Concept T, a crossover vehicle that shows how the off-road and sports car worlds can be combined in future to produce a sports off-road coupe.

The Concept T is equipped with wing doors and is powered by a 241 hp V6 engine mated to a 4MOTION all-wheel drive in conjunction with an automatic gearbox (Tiptronic). The concept T accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.

The two halves of the roof at the front (T-bar roof) of the concept T can be removed. The rear roof module is constructed as a hardtop with integrated trunk lid, but can be removed as well to reveal even more of the sky.

There is plenty of storage space under the station wagon-like rear section either for the outwardly visible spare wheel and luggage, only for luggage or for a second row of seats plus luggage.

The information in the cockpit is projected onto a head-up display.
