2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport GT Concept

Volkswagen have teased a high-performance Atlas Cross Sport with a new concept car that uses the Golf R’s turbocharged engine. The result is a sporty SUV that has an aggressive, purposeful stance with big 22-inch wheels and revised front and rear fascia’s.

Modifications include ST Suspension XTA Plus 3 coilovers, big Tarox eight-piston front brake calipers, high performing Yokohama Advan Sports 285-section-width tires wrapped around ABT Sport HR Aerowheels.

The engine is a modified version of the EA888 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder used in the Golf R, which has a revised turbo and an additional radiator for cooling. Power is quoted as just over 300 hp, which is sent through a seven-speed DSG transmission to VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
