Same here, but from looking at the design I think it's more than just unlikely, it's impossible. Too many of those weird fold out features seem to be supported by magic rather than structural engineering, and others seem to appear out of nowhere (like the awnings on the pop top). Then there's the minor problem of it apparently not having an engine or transmission, unless they think they can shoe-horn something in there under the front seats. It's a fun re-imagining of the westy, but I get the feeling any VW engineers who looked at it and just shook their heads. |
