Mysterious concept drives itself from the future to the trademark office

Discovered by a member of the VW Vortex forums, the concept apparently belongs to Volkswagen and was registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). It takes the shape of a very long, low-slung coupe featuring beefy front and rear fenders as well as a prominent central fin at the rear. The silhouette of the car makes us think of Mercedes-Benz’s IAA concept and most likely the curvaceous body has been designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind.

The front fascia reveals the absence of a conventional windshield, while at the back there seems to be an automatically deployable rear spoiler. The side profile shows a pair of massive gulling wing doors and quite long front and rear overhangs. The lack of side mirrors and cameras is probably a way to improve drag coefficient, just like the aforementioned very sleek IAA concept with its 0.19 coefficient also possible thanks to an extendable body.
