Volkswagen Jetta R GT Concept

In reference to the Volkswagen Jetta R GT Concept’s aggressive look, chief designer Derek Jenkins said, “We wanted the front end to have a stealthy, sinister quality.” And so it does, thanks to massive air inlets, a reworked front fascia that reaches out to the asphalt, and a bright orange and chrome R GT badge affixed to a honeycomb grille insert. Move to the side and what stands out most are the 10-spoke Avus alloy wheels measuring 19 inches by 9.5 inches rolling on orange-lined, 265/30 Michelin Pilot Sport2 tires. Those are for street use; 18-inch Avus alloys with 265/30 Michelin Pilot Sport Cub tires are reserved for the track. Also evident are flared wheel wells and faint silver stripes in the smoke gray paint. The rear features revised taillights and a new fascia that incorporates huge dual exhaust outlets.
