Showing “potential for a new production version of the sportiest Beetle,” the Dune concept is raised two inches in ride height and wears a more rugged-looking body treatment. On the roof, a ski rack holding a pair of skis hints at one potential use of a more go-anywhere Beetle. One thing that’s not on the equipment list, however, is all-wheel drive. The Dune is based around the R-Line’s running gear, meaning it gets a punchy 210-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, and front-wheel drive. VW’s XDS electronic differential locking system aids traction on the front axle.
