The Beetle Dune is a concept car. At least for now. But everything about this car is feasible -- it is practically a production vehicle. This Volkswagen was made for fun. In sports, for instance. On any terrain. That is why designers buckled a pair of skis to the back of this Beetle, whose body was raised 50 mm. Like the legendary Beetle of days past and the air-cooled sports cars from Porsche. But nowadays skiing is not limited to the winter anymore: The design of the Dune-- with its raised body, large 19-inch tyres and all-terrain look -- beckons drivers to conquer beaches and dunes just as the VW beach buggies did in times past. And so, in the summer, skis for sandboarding are attached to the boot lid -- securely latched by clever mechanisms on the rear body and roof spoiler. Wherever there are dunes around the world, new sandboarding hotspots are emerging. In the Beetle Dune, Volkswagen is revisiting an idea that was born in January 2000 with the New Beetle Dune presented in Los Angeles. While the concept car shown in California was more science fiction, especially in its interior and roof structure, in the Dune of 2014 -- which was first revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January -- Volkswagen is looking much more realistically towards a production vehicle.
