Yahoo Autos Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport GT Concept uses the Golf R's engine
Volkswagen has resisted bringing any of its performance crossovers to the U.S. so far. Both the T-Roc R and Tiguan R exist, but they’re both Europe exclusives. The most Volkswagen of America has done in that performance crossover space in what you’re looking at right here. VW calls it the Atlas Cross Sport GT Concept. It’s essentially an Atlas Cross Sport that VW and the owner collaborated on.
A quick look at the stance and visual modifications is convincing enough that VW could successfully pull it off with a full factory effort. Scott Keough, VW of America CEO, adds some flame to that fire, too.
“The launch of the all-new Golf GTI and Golf R got us thinking about how to inject some of that VW magic into our SUVs,” Keough says. “This concept is proof that it’s possible to build SUVs that could appeal to our performance enthusiast base.”
Yes, please.
