Description:
Volkswagen CIT.E – A joy vehicle for New York
Volkswagen CIT.E is a vehicle that can be used in two driving modes that both guarantee the maximum joy for different situations.
The compact driving mode offers a smart solution to the immense urban parking problem in New York. By reducing the vehicle’s length to 2,95 meters, CIT.E gets the ideal companion for every city ride. A high seat position and the huge transparent windshield guarantee a joyful outlook and entertainment by the environment.
Once the driver decides to choose the vehicles sport mode, the wheelbase extends to 3,76 meters and the CIT.E can be used for higher speed. A low vehicle center of gravity enables good aerodynamics as well as great performance in curves. The user can enjoy a fun Sunday ride on New York’s rural back roads as well as he can travel long distance with high speed.
CIT.E combines the mobility need of a performing target group and makes it no more necessary to own an extra vehicle for sporty drives. Being able to shape situational, this automobile is smart and can offer the maximum fun – every time.
