The car takes some design cues from previous vehicles such as the GTI Roadster and the Vision Grand Turismo, both released in 2014. Adding the story of this car’s stylistic appeal is how it was designed. Sporting super car lines, the futuristic design was created by Eljesah Shala an industrial and transportation design graduate as part of a sponsored thesis from the German car maker. A graduate of the University of Art in Braunschweig, Germany, Shala has been invited by the CEO of Volkswagen, Matthias Müller, for a sit down to discuss this beautiful design and what it would take to make the design suitable for production. What he shared with the designer is unknown, but a back window immediately comes to mind.

If the model ever comes to production or influences the direction of future Volkswagen vehicles, it is likely that it would be an electric vehicle. Volkswagen has been on a path towards increasing their electric vehicle development as many vehicle manufacturers are.
