2000 Volkswagen New Beetle Dune Concept

This Beetle Study aimed at the sports-orientated driver 
and harking back to the "Baja Bugs" of the 70’s. 
Powered by a 2.3-liter V5 engine and 
drives all four wheels by the VW 4Motion system, 
through a six-speed manual-shift gearbox. 
The detachable roof, made of plastic material, can provide an open-air feeling. 
The radiator grille and back bumper are made of aluminum. 
The centre of the instrument cluster is dominated by a new navigation system.
Two more displays indicate the tilt and roll angles reached by the body. 
Variable-height air suspension means that the Dune's driver 
can match the ride height to all kinds of terrain.
