Ifyou want any more proof that Volkswagen's BlueSport roadster concept isheading towards production, just consider the fact that the German firmhas not only given the car an internal development code name but italso invited a number of journalists to take the one-off concept for aquick test drive. Furthermore, VW has published a brand new photo albumof the car on the road, that you can check out in all its high-resglory after the jump.
Eventhough VW officials may not publicly admit it, the mid-engined,rear-wheel drive BlueSport roadster that was revealed for the firsttime at this year's Detroit Show, is essentially a low-cost alternativeto the Porsche Boxster.
Withthe 180HP 2.0 TDI, the soft-top roadster that weighs in at less than1,200kg (2,645-lbs), can sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in about6.6 seconds and achieve a top speed of 226km/h or 141mph. Volkswagenclaims that the two-seater roadster can deliver an average fuelconsumption of just 4.3 liters per 100km (54.7mpg US). In combinationwith the 50-liter tank, the car's theoretical range is greater than1,150 kilometers or 715-miles.
TheGerman firm promises that in spite of the car's sporty credentials, theroadster still offers a respectable level of everyday utility. In thecargo area under the front hood, the Concept BlueSport can stow 112liters of luggage while the rear trunk handle an additional 70 litersof cargo. Altogether that makes 182 liters or 20% more space than whatthe Mazda MX-5 / Miata offers (150 liters).
