VIDEO: 2016 Volkswagen Sport Coupe GTE Hybrid Concept HD

VW’s Sport Coupe Concept GTE is an ambitiously futuristic four-seat concept with styling that hints strongly at the next CC sedan. In the automaker’s words, this is “a coupe with four doors and a hatchback,” which makes sense only if you’re accepting of this decade’s insistence on dismantling the definition of “coupe.” It’s also a plug-in hybrid with significantly sporty intentions and an electrically enabled all-wheel-drive setup, as well as a somewhat eerie-sounding navigation system that reads the driver’s emotions.

A turbocharged and direct-injected 3.0-liter V-6 cranks out 295 horses and a prodigious 369 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed DSG transmission, while a 54-hp electric motor is integrated into the gearbox to augment front-wheel power. A separate, 114-hp motor drives the rear axle. The electric motors are fed juice by a lithium-ion battery pack tucked into the car’s center tunnel, explaining the four-seat layout.
