2011 Volkswagen Concept Sports Car by Steel Drake

Volkswagen may have debuted the Bluesport sports car concept back in 2009 with hopes of producing it under the VW brand, but we highly doubt that anyone really planned on seeing it live and in production form. Then after the company announced it would shelf the concept until people started buying cars again, we thought it would be left there collecting dust until it was primed and ready to be published in a book of concepts that never stood a chance. Nevertheless, plans for the BlueSport are still in the works and graphic designer, "Steel Drake," has taken the opportunity to preview Volkswagen’s future sports car.

His rendition screams, "I’m the Audi R8’s forgotten younger brother," but Drake made sure to throw in his personal influence to differentiate it. Of course, that just left us with a front end that looks like it’s melting off, concave curves oddly place at the front of the doors, and the matching droopy taillights at the back. He did throw in some LED lights to try to balance the quirkiness with some normalcy, but that may have been a wasted attempt.

We don’t see this concept ever making it to the Volkswagen drawing table with their stamp of approval, but it does open the doors to what changes Volkswagen could make in order for their new sports car to compete in a populated segment. Ball’s in your court, Volkswagen. Show us what you got.

German Auto-maker Volkswagen said that there is an increase in demand for its Polo and Vento models in India due to which the waiting period for these two models had gone up to 2-3 months.

We all gona see all New Volkswagen Beetle from 2012 Edition.

Volkswagen is redesigning it popular small car Volkswagen Beetle for 2010 Edition. 2012 Volkswagen New Beetle will undergo an evolutionary styling change when production begins next year.

Since Beetle shares the same platform of VW Golf, New Beetle will continue to be assembled in Puebla, Mexico.

Spy photographs of the car reveal that all of the sheet metal has been replaced, but the overall design remains retro.

In an interview last October to Autocar, Stefan Jacoby, who at that time was the president and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, said the next generation New Beetle would have more space for rear-seat passengers and better packaging. However, the overall dimensions of the vehicle would not significantly change.

Jacoby said the major complaint about the current car — aside from its age — is the cramped rear seat. Few changes have been made to the current New Beetle since it debuted in 1998.

Here are some pics how 2012 Beetle may look like. PICs by Carpix(spionage) :)
