2024 Volkswagen Virtus Convertible Breaks Cover – Topless Thrills

While the Virtus Cabrio is not available for sale, third-party car customization shops can certainly work their magic to create something similar

When Brazilian President Lula da Silva was scheduled to visit the Volkswagen plant in São Bernardo do Campo (SP), the company decided to make it a memorable event. Something unique and exciting was needed, which led to the creation of the Virtus Cabrio. The one-off prototype looks absolutely stunning and seems practical as well.

Customizations needed to create Virtus Convertible

Removing the roof is one of the common approaches used by car modifiers. But the Virtus Cabrio project is a lot more complicated than an attempt to merely chop the top. The team carried out changes to the Virtus sedan, with the goal to enable a comfortable sitting as well as standing position for the guest.

The car had to be fully functional, as it was to be used for a complete tour of the plant. The team had just six weeks’ time to complete the project, which made the task even harder. A total of 30 professionals were involved in the Virtus Cabrio project.

As the B and C pillars were completely removed along with the roof of the sedan, additional reinforced structures were added to ensure rigidity. More space was added to the second row to ensure that guests can easily switch between sitting and standing positions.
