The VW EcoRacer shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show is
a mid engine roadster concept which is being used as a
test bed for a new advanced technology turbocharged 1484cc
diesel engine.
The EcoRacers goal is good fuel economy, it does this
with the help of a lightweight carbon
fiber body - and of course the diesel engine.
The attractive EcoRacer features a cut down windscreen
and open cockpit which can be swapped for a full size
windscreen and hard top.
The rear of the car holds clean 'C' shaped LED taillights
set into the body work.
A resemblance to previous VW concepts can be seen in the
slatted rear air inlets which are similar to those used
on the Volkswagen
W12 coupe from 2003.
