Based on a Citigo platform, the two-seat convertible retains the proportions and familiar face, but almost everything else about the car has been changed. Although there are still some final touches to be made before the car is officially unveiled at the annual Wörthersee GTI fan meet at the end of May, it has been revealed that the car will feature a hand-made rear spoiler plus 16-inch alloy wheels with a blue finish that are designed to complement a striking blue and white metallic paint colour scheme. Despite what the two tailpipes may suggest, under the bonnet is the familiar 75hp 1.0-litre MPI engine.
Anything else?
The annual Wörthersee GTI event takes place from 28 to 31 May and this year will mark its 33rd anniversary. It is now one of the largest organised meets of not only Volkswagen owners and fans but has expanded to include the majority of other brands within the Volkswagen Group.
