Volkswagen has introduced in Geneva the very appealing Sport Coupe Concept GTE. Likely previewing the next generation CC, the concept takes the shape of a very stylish four-door coupe riding on the MQB platform and with the following dimensions: 4869mm length, 1864mm width and 1407mm height while the trunk can hold 480 liters. It benefits from a big 3020mm wheelbase and has 909mm front & 1120mm rear overhangs. It has been equipped with 21-inch alloys and comes with a panoramic sliding sunroof while the cabin adopts a simple and clean layout with few physical buttons & knobs.
Motivation of the Volkswagen Sport Coupe Concept GTE is provided by a plug-in hybrid setup mixing up a TSI V6 engine with a couple of electric motors granting a combined output of 380 HP (279 kW). It will need 5.2 seconds to complete the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) journey and will keep on accelerating until reaching a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
Volkswagen says the concept can be driven solely on electric power for as much as 31 miles (50 km) before running out of battery juice while used as a hybrid it has a total range of 620 miles (1,000), with the average fuel consumption standing at only 2 liters / 100 km.
