The vehicle had a 5 meter long, with only 84 cm extremely flat and aerodynamic body (Cd value: 0.15) made of plastic. There were stub wings on the bow and tail fins on the stern . A six-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 2.4 liters was used as the drive, generating 175 hp by means of a turbocharger , but transmitting its power to the drive axle via a chain. Their durability was the reason why VW did without the long distances prescribed by the FIA when the company tried to set speed records with the vehicle. With the technical requirements, the vehicle was able to drive 362 km / h, the consumption was 13.6 liters of fuel per 100 km. Two copies were built. VW set two speed records with the car: 345.26 km / h over 500 kilometers and 353.88 km / h over an hour's drive.

1986: VW Scooter
The VW Scooter is a three-wheeled prototype with wing doors based on the VW Polo, whose four-cylinder engine is installed transversely and drives the front wheels via a four-speed gearbox. The engine has a displacement of 1378 cm³ and develops 66 kW (90 hp) at 6000 rpm; the maximum torque is 121 Nm at 3800 rpm. The front wheels with 175/60 VR 13 tires are suspended from wishbones and MacPherson struts; the rear wheel with 235/55 VR 15 tires is guided on a single swing arm .
Thanks to a drag coefficient (C w ) of only 0.25 and a frontal area of 1.44 m², the scooter reaches a top speed of 201 km / h with an empty weight of 550 kg (without driver); It accelerated from zero to 100 km / h in 10.9 seconds. The gross vehicle weight is 760 kg.
The vehicle body is made of plastic and placed on a load-bearing steel floor assembly. It is 3175 mm long, 1498 mm wide and 1235 mm high and offers little space for two people with an interior width of 1060 mm, whereby the driver's seat is slightly wider than the front passenger's seat. Removable wing doors make it possible to drive the scooter open. The luggage compartment above the rear wheel or under the rear window holds around 100 liters; there was no spare wheel.
1989: VW Futura
The VW Futura presented at the IAA 1989 is a minivan-like four-seater test model with two gull-wing doors that contained the technology that was feasible at the time. The car is already equipped with functions that were only gradually introduced into vehicles from around the year 2000. The car has:
- Self-steering parking aid with four-wheel steering ; available from VW today as optional Park Assist ; including distance warning
- electric power steering
- electric handbrake (toggle switch instead of lever)
- Road navigation system (based on traffic information, RDS )
- Active sound absorbers to reduce car noise (microphones record noise, and certain frequencies are played by means of the radio, which are supposed to neutralize unwanted noise sources according to the principle of anti- noise)
- integrated car phone
- LC display for navigation, operating instructions, on-board computer and speedometer
- Odor filter for air nozzles
- Traffic control system (in cooperation with control centers or other participants to bypass traffic jams or construction sites)

The introduction of the gasoline direct injection engine with VW's in-house G-charger to reduce fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions , which was well-known in 1989 but had not yet been developed for mass production, was still progressive at that time . The 4-cylinder 1715 cm³ engine has an output of 60 kW (82 hp) at 4200 rpm and 155 Nm at 2500 rpm and consumes around 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers according to the ECE standard .

The Sedric (SElf-DRIving Car) is the first concept vehicle from the Volkswagen Group. It is also the first vehicle in the group to be designed for level 5 autonomous driving. It was presented at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
2017: VW Gen.E
The VW Gen.E is the prototype of an electric vehicle that was presented in June 2017 and is intended to be a technology carrier for future developments.
It was shown for the first time at the Future Mobility Days 2017 . The vehicle is made of lightweight construction, but designed for high crash safety and has further developed lithium-ion cells and an electric motor optimized for driving. With one battery charge, it should be able to cover a distance of over 400 kilometers. The model is an EA model (development order) from the Volkswagen pool that is “at least five years old and rolled onto the stand for demonstration purposes for mobile charging”. The focus of the innovation module was not on the vehicle, but on a small mobile robot that can independently connect electric cars, for example in underground garages or multi-storey car parks, to charge.
