2011 Volkswagen Virtigo

Renderings Here.
Working on a short project, similar to my VW 'Rennbahn' car, but more an occasional sports roadster:
-seats 4, "2 comfortabley"
-rear engine (1 to 1.3 turbo, and with a Hybrid option)
-some aspects of the original beetle-based dune buggy
-targa type roof, with lift off panel and top side rails above the door to add strength and reduce cost
-priced around 18k or less
-Uses the coming VW 'UP!' platform (rear engine economy platform)
