Perhaps to send Volkswagen a message of "Look how easy that was. . . we'll do it for you, too, if you pay us," Karmann has created a one-off Polo GTI cabriolet. The result - especially at the rear - is quite reminiscent of the last VW Cabrio sold here in the states, but with a sportier top-up roofline.
The grander purpose of the concept, though, is to give Karmann a chance to show off some new convertible top technologies. Although it uses a soft fabric top, the Polo Cabrio boasts a glass sunroof just like the production Eos hardtop convertible. The concept also has an illuminated headliner and folding rear seats, just like in a hatchback.Those seats are possible thanks to a new Cabrio Overhead Protection System (COPS) that is not only safe, it doesn't require a rigid rear seat to support the structure of the car as a whole.
