Dune buggies meant freedom and rebellion all at the same time. Based around the evergreen Volkswagen Beetle, builders stripped away the bodies, added some fiberglass and big tires, and created an instant California-style classic. Now Volkswagen is going back to the well, promising more freedom, but a lot less rebellion with its Volkswagen Beetle Dune. Pitched as an off-road version of the Golf-based Beetle, the Beetle Dune concept car is a near-production design that will give the two-model Beetle range a crossover niche-filler. Based off the Golf Alltrack soft roader, Volkswagen is hinting that the Beetle Dune could be in production as early as this summer.
