Dear Volkswagen,

I like that your design division is thinking ahead into the future of automobiles. I think that you are on the right track to the future and hope your designs continue to turn out an impress me this much.

36 horsepower? That diesel engine better be putting out some torque… It’s pretty cool looking though, if they ever produce this I’m sure the Trek fans will buy these as fast as VW can build them

Yeah Johnny, let’s call it the Photon Torpedo.

It’s still very cool.

This looks better in the reality pics than it does in the brochure pics. I like it. I worry about a few things, like dinging the top of the car when I get in and out, instead of dinging doors. But overall, I think this looks rather fun. The interior looks rather nice.

I’m also digging the LED panel on that camera in that last shot.

the real wheel is covered because of aerodynamics….they would cover the front wheel also if this would be possible. But there´s no space for turning with the covers in front.

Wasn’t Spock launched to the Genesis planet in one of these?

I think this thing looks so much like the Citroen SM in side profile, and even rear. If it was wider with regular doors it would really be a retro version!

I think this actually looks really cool, the only thing I don’t like is that the rear wheel is covered. My guess is that that cover is housing something…because it would look a lot better with it off!
