VW Concept Blue Sports Breaks Cover
by Thami Masemola
January 11, 2009 12:28 PM




Volkswagen's Concept Blue Sports premieres in Detroit as a study in combining great fuel economy with a sporty drive and looks. The roadster measures some four metres in length but weighs less than 1200kg. VW has put a turbo diesel engine in it and that tips the performance scales even more in its favour.

The engine is a 2.0-litre TDI that makes 180hp (134kW) from 4,200rpm and a hefty torque of 350Nm made from just 1,750rpm. Said to be capable of a 0 - 100km/h time of 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 226km/h (140mph), the Blue Sports concept emits just 113g/km in harmful C02 gasses. It averages 4.3 litres per 100km (55mpg US/ 66mpg UK) in fuel consumption.

Not to be classified as a lightweight with no proper credentials, the car runs on massive 235/35ZR19 tyres front and 245/35ZR19 rear. The gearbox is VW's trusted quick-shifting DSG with 6 forward gears and one reverse.

Technologies adopted are bi-xenon LED headlights outside, a touchscreen that controls infotainment sources inside and an easy-to-use top that can be removed in seconds. Could the Concept Blue Sports be pointing towards a future Scirocco cabriolet? Time will tell.

re: Volkswagen Concept BlueSport
I really like this new direction VW took! New sporty cars with impressive design: First the Scirocco then the Passat CC and now this!

Congrats VW

http://wallpapers.diq.ru/wallpapers/...,_Roadster.jpg

so are they having enough balls to release it this time ? the past has sadly shown that exciting vw concepts never make it into production ... or if they do it gets something like the eos...

re: Volkswagen Concept BlueSport
Holy AUDI TT and Porsche Boxster Rip-off Batman!! But I will say, it does look quite nice, and if it drives even half as good as the S2000, it should be good fun.
