Hi Guys and Gals !

Well, the project was presented in the last issue of "Transportmagasinet", the official VW truck owners mag. here in Sweden , too !
Then as a "one of a kind " only pickup truck, I�ve never seen the SUV before ! , and it�s purpose was just to show muscle at NAIAS in Detroit :( 
It�s sharing size with the EV  but is equipped with a twin turbo V10 diesel, 313 Hp at 4000 rpm and 750 Nm torque at 2000 rpm !!
Wannahave !!!

Cheers 
Calle
