Volkswagen concept model T featuring off-road capabilities

Transcript

00:00 At the 2004 Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen unveiled the Concept T. Drawing inspiration

00:17 from the Kubo Wagon and the Beetle-based Dune Buggies, the Concept T identifies a micro

00:22 niche in the crowded SUV segment.

00:25 The result is an off-road coupe fitted with a 214-horsepower V6, Tiptronic transmission

00:31 for motion all-wheel drive, and wild speed buggy styling.

00:35 The sweeping doors move outward and swing upward to aid ingress and egress.

00:40 The roof is made of two removable parts to enable open-air beach cruising, and the interior

00:45 boosts the latest technology with a personal mobility gateway wireless communication system.

00:50 The PMG uses a portable PDA-like device that controls functions such as air conditioning

00:55 and the navigation system.

00:56 VW officials suggest this Concept is more than a fanciful design, leaving us wondering

01:02 about the potential for a platform and drivetrain sharing sport utility coupe.
