The Demo Site

Volkswagen first toyed with the idea of reviving a small, mid-engine roadster with its cleanly styled ConceptR for the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. While the car garnered mostly positive reaction, it ultimately failed to make the production line. Two years later at the Tokyo Motor Show, another roadster concept, called the EcoRacer, was shown by Wolfsburg, once again stirring hopes that VW would eventually build a fuel efficient and agile sports car for the masses.

Now comes the Volkswagen BlueSport, and enthusiasts everywhere are hoping the third time will finally be the production charm. Volkswagen has combined what it's learned with the previous show cars. Priority No. 1 with this prototype: provide maximum driving fun with minimal fuel consumption. Of course, that's easier said than done.
