Volkswagen concept R roadster

[majaV8]

As predicted by Wheels24 Volkswagen is going to unveil a roadster at the Frankfurt Motor Show. We bring you the official pictures and info about this sizzling V6 sports car concept.



This new VW roadster, the concept R, is an innovative concept with an expressive design. The concept R is 4.16 metres long, 1.78 metres wide and 1.25 metres high

Propulsion for the concept R comes from a V6 mid-engine which as a power output of 195 kW. Maximum torque is an impressive 350 Nm.

The car will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds and top speed is governed to 250 km/h. Furthermore the sound of the engine can be varied at the turn of a switch!

A particularly avante garde appearance of the concept R is evident in the front end with its newly created radiator grille.

The chrome badge is also an opening through which the V6 engine breathes. Its headlights have a dominant form with their outer, round main element and an inner part that leans diagonally towards the centre of the vehicle.

Inline with the Phaeton, Touareg and new Golf, the wing area is extended prominently to the front above the headlights like an eyebrow and underlines in this way the athletic character of the concept vehicle.

The LED technology integrated in the headlights is an innovation: A lens begins to open as soon as they are switched on. Until this aperture widens, all that can be seen is a narrow beam of light.

The flank of the concept R is distinguished by a very flat waistline, rising to the centre of the rear wheelarches; naturally round, heavily contoured wheelarches; and a very short rear overhang.

At the rear there is a the three dimensional effect and it appears muscle packed. Inline with the front end, the boot forms a V, enhanced by a dynamic edge unlike anything else.

The tail lights correspond in their form (round main element, angled inner part) with the headlights. It also makes use of LED technology.

The dynamics of the concept R are underlined by two body domes behind the driver and co-driver in the style of a classic racing car.

Not only are they powerful and elegant in their flowing lines, but they also fulfil two very practical roles: Wind deflection and over-roll protection.

Interior design

An interior was developed for the concept R that, with its layout, operating and information spectrum, forms a path to the future, like the function of a time tunnel.

A so-called OLED screen (flexible in shape and form with extremely high lighting power) breathes even more "life" into the concept R. And in a way that is as unusual as it is unexpected.

The VW emblem in the steering wheel is no longer a tangible reality; it can now be found stored in the round display. As soon as the driver switches on the ignition, that is, when the concept R is switched to stand-by, the VW emblem begins to pulsate.

VW fitted the car with bucket seats which cannot be adjusted - in fact, there is no way of adjusting them at all.

Instead of the seat, the driver moves the polished metal operating and information block of the instrument panel, including steering wheel and pedal cluster, back or forth.

The adjusting mechanism is activated electrically. At the press of a button, the co-driver can also find an optimal seating position by moving a highly polished support element back or forth in the footwell.

A highlight of the concept vehicle is the instrument panel and centre console. All areas of the operating elements and displays and also parts of the steering wheel (self-climatised) are finished in polished aluminium.

The instrument panel cross member is covered in dark leather.

The air vents in the centre console, designed with a turbine appearance, display the selected temperature digitally and can be turned like a dial to set a new value.

Navigation, audio system, running gear and cellphone are controlled via an MMI (multimedia interface) on the centre tunnel.

When the ignition is activated (no key required, just simply tap the START switch lightly), it opens up into the centre of the cockpit from the right.

As soon as the driver activates the navigation system, the main instrument is drawn back into the instrument panel, which clears the way for the navigation display. All other information is now in the background.

Podobnost z Boxterjem ni naključna (namestitev odprtine za nalivanje goriva, namestitev izpušnih cevi na sredino, sredinski motor, oblika nasploh). Sodelovanje VW/Porsche se je začelo pa tako, da je bil prvi Porsche v bistvu tuning hrošča.
