The Volkswagen Beetle Dune is not really a concept car. It’s a concept car that feels and runs like a production car. It made its debut on a cold and wintry day in Michigan in January when it made its debut at the Detroit Motor Show. One would have thought that the car was packed off after its stage performance. Well, not exactly. It made a reappearance on the road in sunny Sylt, Germany recently. According to a company release, it remains a concept car, but everything about it is feasible – it is practically a production vehicle.This Volkswagen was made for fun on any terrain. Unlike the real Beetle, which loves smooth tarmac to breeze through, this needs any terrain. The body of the Beetle Dune has been raised by 50 mm compared with a standard Beetle, while 19-inch wheels with large tyres lend an all-terrain look. A rear-mounted ski-rack is reminiscent of those fitted to classic Beetles. It makes the vehicle look sportier besides making a perfect accessory for the winter season. For the summer season, the car can hold a soundboard – the ideal accessory for surfing the sand dunes from which the Beetle Dune takes its name.The Beetle Dune concept is based on the current production model, using the same 210 PS (207hp) turbocharged petrol engine and six-speed DSG gearbox, providing power to the front wheels. Whether it would become an actual production vehicle, one has to wait. As for India, it can be the perfect car to take on its pot holed roads!
