Volkswagen’s current all-white advertising theme seems futuristic even as it is modern, but its nothing compared to the sleek and minimal cars they are envisioning humming along the road in 20 years. Their 2028 line features cars for the single passenger up to a full sized family vehicle.
To bad these concepts rarely come to fruition. The VW Viseo is one of the coolest concepts to come out in while. This very sleek, sexy design comes from the mind of designer Marc Kirsch.
Well, not really, Volkswagen the company actually has nothing to do with these cute little flash drives modeled after their more famous vehicles. There are 4 models, 2 beetles, and 2 campers.
The Beetles come in pink or blue and the campers come in green or red. When you are transferring data and all that good stuff, the lights flash and there are horns that honk too.
I seriously doubt this bug is all that road friendly, but it would be really funny to see flying down the highway. A Chinese car company wrapped the bug in plastic wrap and then spread 440 pounds of melted chocolate all over the bug.
