2011 Steel Drake Volkswagen Concept Sports Car by Kyrgyzstanian

“Steel Drake”, the Kyrgyzstanian graphic designer, has created his Volkswagen Concept Sports Car. Steel Drake’s Volkswagen Concept Sports is a simple-yet-sleek design. It looks like a scaled-down, front engined Audi R8. Then, halfway through the project, Audi cans it and hands over all its sketches and prototyping model to Volkswagen which then decides to put the two-door coupe into production.

Kyrgyzstanian graphic designer “Steel Drake” has created something very much fitting with this scenario in the form of his Volkswagen Concept Sports Car. Looking like a scaled-down, front engined Audi R8, Steel Drake’s Concept Sports is a simple-yet-sleek design let down only by some questionable design choices.

Take for instance the drooping taillights that seem more befitting a Chinese car than one built in Germany, or the peculiar concave curves around the doors that seems stuck on rather than an integral part of the design. Otherwise it’s quite good looking, though perhaps more something Infiniti would produce than Volkswagen.
