I always asked myself....why sketches are so extreme in the proportions and they never produce what designers draw?

I understand car makers can't really apply 21" wheels with extreme tire width and lower the height
...but the rest?

Is it because of the overall weight of the car? Is it because of the aerodynamics?

It's a dream that never comes true
 
Not sure if posted yet but Top Gear have posted this claiming it's the VW vision car.

Sorry tree'd because I didn't read the articles posted.
Looks like that Citroen race car.

Mostly, cost and safety I'd guess.
 
Hang on, the Top Gear link says the car has a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6. Why do I get the feeling this will reuse the awful 6-cylinder sounds from either the FT-1 or the BMW M4?

Because sketches are all about pure design and beauty. Then they become "corrected" in areas that need correction to make it reality.

Exactly it may not be technically be able to produce a working car based off a sketch ... Impossible angles etc
 
I've just noticed that all the teasers on Facebook were added around 6 o'clock in the evening. Maybe full release will be around the same time.
 
I'd say inteor is more than likely :)👍

move that cover already..:mischievous:

Man those lucky Germans, I want a pair of VW overalls! :D Wait a minute, the outlines of that car under the hood look NOTHING like the sketches?? (I'm just talking about the front bumper because that's about all you can make out.. it looks pretty smooth under that cover but in the sketches it has way more going on around the front.. hmmmm)

Probably a good amount of fake bodywork hiding the actual car underneath.
