Volkswagen Diesel Roadster
“Eco-friendly” goods and services are becoming more prevalent in order to protect the Environment. Volkswagen is trying to join this movement. The German car company will be showcasing their Concept car, BlueSport, at the Detroit Auto Show. This two-door roadster comes with a 2.0 liter turbodiesel four mounted amidships. It puts out 180 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque and pushes just 2,600 pounds via a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It’s expected to hit 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and has a top speed of 140…returning about 35 mpg on the European cycle and upwards of 62 mpg in “Eco” mode. This Blue Sport is a perfect example that VW is “officially committed to growth with cars that will continue to offer maximum excitement with minimum consumption.”
