Until 2005, Pischetsrieder ( the new boss of Volkswagen), would like to have at least a model of the marks VOLKSWAGEN, Audi, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley, Skoda and Seat in 85 percent of all segments.
Still a secret concept car, Vw Sfero have to close the gap between the Passat and the Phaeton s The Sfero is a completely special creation, because is the first Volkswagen who have front engine in connection with rear propulsion,a mixture between a SUV and a station-wagon, although an all-wheel drive is not planned. This is possible because Bernd Pischetsrieder and Ferrari-boss Luca di Montezemolo are said to be in agreement for a unique technology transfer. So Maserati will deliver the chassis of their brand-new Quattroporte sedan as a base for the new Volkswagen Sfero. In exchange Volkswagen will deliver the 4x4 chassis of its Touareg off-roader for the future Maserati Kubang SUV. The Quattroporte’s transaxle chassis allows an excellent weight-balance and therefore promises superb handling for the Sfero. Audi’s V-8 engines also fit perfectly in the Sfero, so we have to expect a top-of-the line engine (also probable -Volkswagens TDI’s and FSI’s with up to 450 HP). Air suspension, an electrically operated rear door,new active steering system, a wide track and long wheelbase (114.2 inches), adaptive brake light and LED taillights are other luxury features included in the 2007 model. | | ||||||||||||
