Volkswagen may have debuted the Bluesport sports car concept back in 2009 with hopes of producing it under the VW brand, but we highly doubt that anyone really planned on seeing it live and in production form. Then after the company announced it would shelf the concept until people started buying cars again, we thought it would be left there collecting dust until it was primed and ready to be published in a book of concepts that never stood a chance. Nevertheless, plans for the BlueSport are still in the works and graphic designer, "Steel Drake," has taken the opportunity to preview Volkswagen’s future sports car. His rendition screams, "I’m the Audi R8’s forgotten younger brother," but Drake made sure to throw in his personal influence to differentiate it. Of course, that just left us with a front end that looks like it’s melting off, concave curves oddly place at the front of the doors, and the matching droopy taillights at the back. He did throw in some LED lights to try to balance the quirkiness with some normalcy, but that may have been a wasted attempt. We don’t see this concept ever making it to the Volkswagen drawing table with their stamp of approval, but it does open the doors to what changes Volkswagen could make in order for their new sports car to compete in a populated segment. Ball’s in your court, Volkswagen. Show us what you got. .
20 comments: Volkswagen Concept Sports Car by Steel Drake In case that the are not making this concept into production vehicle. I would still want to see some details here in their future models. I agree that the headlights are kind of cool!
No way! I don’t want to see this car running down in the road! Its exterior is kind of boring, for I think there’s something missing on its detailing. BTW, I like the newer design for the headlights of this concept.
But with the way the folks at Volkswagen are going, I highly doubt if this one would actually get into production. The top honchos seem to be quite indecisive here.
Well, if they are indeed going to take this one into production, it would be better if they take a cue from this design. It really makes the car even more striking.
Whew, the Blue Sport concept has definitely taken a lot of twists and turns in its development. But I am still keeping my fingers crossed and still hoping that it does get into production soon.
What a waste! The BlueSport edition looks better than this current production.Now, I’m wondering who are buyers that wanted to have one of this car? I’d rather to choose to have a diesel mid engine sportscar!
From the front it looks like a beaver (the animal). From the side it looks like it’s been in a smash. From the back it looks like that 10 stone Chinese toddler after being given a box of animal crackers. In short, a mess. I would say that its this will be a waste of time if ever they make it into production. It will not sell for sure! The competition in the sportscar world is tough. Every customer wants a cool design with a awesome performance. I think that this car has those things. Fail!
Looking at the aesthetic of this car, I wasn’t impressed at all! Its different to the traditional look of the VW. It seems that they haven’t think while conceptualizing this concept car. I suggest that they subside this concept and proceed to their plan B.
