We’ve already talked about the VW GTI Roadster concept but, this time, we have the opportunity to see it in metal. The German prototype was displayed at Worthersee and there’s no denial that it is stunning.

The new concept was originally created for the Gran Turismo 6 video game but we appreciate VW for building the model.
