Translated: We aspire you like it because the hybrid telegraphs the manner of the new Jetta coming this summer and the mid-vastness Passat replacement due next year. Will VW hyperbolize it:?
"It's a bit too early to say" whether the car will make it into production, says Stefan Jacoby, CEO of VW in the U.S. The NCC -- New Concept Coupe (VW is so jazzy) -- is based on VW's basic teeny-car, front-drive chassis module employed worldwide for the likes of Golf and Jetta. Power is from a 1.4-liter gasoline appliance rated 150 horsepower, and a 27-hp stimulating motor fueled from a lithium-ion battery. The car could run strictly on tenseness temporarily, so is considered a true, or "full," half-breed.
