00:00 At the 2004 Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen unveiled the Concept T. Drawing inspiration
00:17 from the Kubo Wagon and the Beetle-based Dune Buggies, the Concept T identifies a micro
00:22 niche in the crowded SUV segment.
00:25 The result is an off-road coupe fitted with a 214-horsepower V6, Tiptronic transmission
00:31 for motion all-wheel drive, and wild speed buggy styling.
00:35 The sweeping doors move outward and swing upward to aid ingress and egress.
00:40 The roof is made of two removable parts to enable open-air beach cruising, and the interior
00:45 boosts the latest technology with a personal mobility gateway wireless communication system.
00:50 The PMG uses a portable PDA-like device that controls functions such as air conditioning
00:55 and the navigation system.
00:56 VW officials suggest this Concept is more than a fanciful design, leaving us wondering
01:02 about the potential for a platform and drivetrain sharing sport utility coupe.
