To do this, the outer parts of the rear spoiler swivel; the skis are then placed in the spoiler, then it is closed to clamp them in place. At the top, the skis slide into a receptacle in the specially developed roof spoiler, where they are secured by an 0.8-inch-wide belt. The roof spoiler is painted in high-gloss black, like the entire surface surrounding the transparent panoramic tilt/slide sunroof. The meticulous attention to detail is also reflected in the skis for the concept car, which are painted in shiny black. The Dune signature and Volkswagen logo are offset in matte black. Even with skis mounted, the trunklid can be opened easily at any time.The contrasting matte and gloss black theme continues on the rear bumper, with the surfaces around the license plate and the wrap-around extension of the wheelarches being painted in gloss black and the lower part of the bumper in matte black. The chrome-plated underbody protection also functions as a diffuser and integrates the twin tailpipes. Interior: The Dune team also revamped the interior, with two particular areas of attention. First, the dashpad - painted in the "Arizona" exterior color - doesn't have the classic "kaeferfach" (or Beetle bin) on the passenger side. In this car, it has been replaced by another classic original Beetle feature, a grab handle that features contrasting black soft-touch material with "Arizona" and aluminum accents. Second, the entire infotainment system incorporates a digital interface with a high-resolution 7.7-inch touchscreen. An AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic LED) display is used to render extremely fine detail. The digital display of the car's pitch and roll is a tribute to the New Beetle Dune of 2000, which integrated the functions in the main instrumentation. The Beetle Dune Concept integrates the "Volkswagen Sideways" app - a program that proactively integrates POIs into the navigation system. For example, the touchscreen not only displays the types and numbers of restaurants nearby, but also whether your friends are there. Upon request, the navigation system can guide the driver and the Dune right to the restaurant. The Sideways app also integrates information such as the weather in the POI instructions, so the driver would not be guided to an outdoor swimming pool in winter, for example. The seat design is sophisticated and sporty. The outer surfaces of the front sport seats and the two rear seats are upholstered in "Titan Black" leather, while the center surfaces are made of "Ceramique" colored "Gobi" breathable sport fabric. The leather and fabric areas and the front and rear of the head restraints have decorative stitching in the "Arizona" color. Mechanically, the Dune uses the running gear from the Beetle R-Line. Underhood, there's a 210-hp turbocharged and direct-injection TSI 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Combined with a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, the Beetle Dune has a manufacturer estimated fuel economy rating of 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The car retains the Beetle's front-wheel-drive layout and strut-type front suspension and multilink rear arrangement. As with all U.S. Beetle R-Line models, the electronic XDS differential is standard. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
