Saddle up with the VW Buggy Up!

Volkswagen had a lot to show off at the latest Frankfurt Auto Show and one of the cooler concepts on display was the Buggy Up! Part of a fleet that included other VW concepts under the ‘Up!’ moniker, the Buggy Up! is a new spin on the urban hatchback with it’s removed doors and waterproof cockpit. Two neoprene bucket seats, drain holes, a removable infotainment module and fabric roof all accompany this funky and fun design, perfect for your weekend beach getaways.

No word on whether the Buggy Up! will make the transition from concept to production, but here is hoping the folks over in Wolfsburg take a chance on this little gem.
