Volkswagen Virtus with a wide-body kit: What it’ll look like

People are very excited about the upcoming Volkswagen Virtus. This is because it looks great, is practical with a big boot and high ground clearance, is equipped with features and also offers an option of a very powerful engine. Volkswagen has not yet announced the prices of the Virtus. However, here we have a rendering of the Virtus with a wide-body kit.

The rendering is done by zephyr_designz and the images are shared on the Instagram page. The artist calls it Virtus Zephyr RS Widebody and it does look really good and aggressive.

The artist has rendered the front quarter and the rear quarter of the sedan. The front has been revised with a more aggressive bumper with a large air intake. The Volkswagen logo now also has a black background.

The artist is using a wide body kit which increases the road presence of the Virtus significantly. There are additional air inlets present along with the headlamps to smoothen out the airflow.

The alloy wheels are still finished in black but have a different design. Moreover, the ride height has dropped significantly. At the rear, there is a different diffuser which is finished in carbon fibre but more importantly, it now gets four exhaust pipes. The boot lid spoiler is still there but now is finished in carbon fibre.

It is important to note that this is just an imagination of the artist. Volkswagen has not announced whether they will be doing an RS or a wide-body version. Although, it is highly unlikely that something like this happens officially.
