Volkswagen has revealed it might not go ahead with plans to build the new Bluesport roadster. The news came from VW’s communications manager Christian Haacke at the launch of the new 2010 Polo, reports Drive. “The state we are at right now regarding Concept Bluesport is we are carefully calculating how to earn money with a niche car,’ said Haacke. “It is a niche product and especially in crisis times like this it will be a challenge to come up with a volume we could require to earn money with it.”
Still, Haacke is hopeful that the roadster may come to life once the economy pulls out of its tailspin. “The idea of a small two-seater sport car has been around for a really long time and I hope that the concept Bluesport will finally make it through the calculators,” he said. The Bluesport roadster concept isn’t just a sporty two-seater – it has real eco-credibility as well. It is powered by a 2.0L four-pot turbodiesel, puts out 180hp (134kW) and achieved 60mph in 6.2 seconds, all while managing 35mpg.
