VW EcoRacer: VW's green concept thrashed on track

Another article about the successful race track test of the VW EcoRacer.

Volkswagen's EcoRacer diesel sports car has successfully completed its racetrack debut with 34 journalists from nine countries.

They thrashed the car for three days on a racetrack in Pau, in the South of France, covering more than 1200km, mainly at high speed, in the yellow two-seater.

"The EcoRacer," VW said, "proved to be versatile and dynamic in the guise of a coupé, a roadster and a speedster."

"The EcoRacer impressively passed this test without any breakdowns on the Pau track in Pau and proved that fuel economy and sportiness are not mutually exclusive."

VW designer Cesar Muntada said at the track: "It is a wonderful experience to see your new vehicle on the road for the first time and to see the reactions to it.

"I am particularly pleased about the emotions stirred by the EcoRacer."
