First Drive: 2012 Volkswagen Concept BlueSport Roadster
2012 Volkswagen Concept BlueSport Roadster - First Drive Review and Photos of Volkswagen Concept - Automobile Magazine
We test-drive Volkswagen's Concept BlueSport roadster ahead of its 2012 launch.

Although visually striking, most auto show concepts are about as fun to drive as a homemade kit car, barely able to turn a wheel under their own power and limited to brisk walking speeds. Not so the Volkswagen Concept BlueSport, which is more of an early prototype than a humble design exercise. After an entertaining two-hour drive through the Bavarian Alps, we are convinced that the BlueSport - whose approval by VW brass is only a formality - has the potential to become a hit. The hikers, bikers, pedestrians, and fellow motorists along our route seemed to agree; we would have seen even more thumbs-up had the fans not been so busy taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones.
