2000 November:
Volkswagen's Advanced Activity Concept Vehicle (AAV),
2000 January: The VW AAV concept ute shown at the Detroit Motor Show fitted with a 300hp+ 5-litre V-10 turbocharged diesel, just one of the engine options being considered, and VW has a greater variety to consider than most.
The AAV's platform is a result of cooperation with Porsche, although the two firms are to market quite different vehicles. Volkswagen is keen to get some of the BMW X5/ Ford Explorer/ Merc' M-class action so for-sure there will have to be a station wagon version.
The show car was fitted with 19" wheels,
height adjustable air suspension,
a 6-speed Tiptronic gearbox, and
2-speed transfer case with full-time four wheel drive.
