Green Fury: Volkswagen premieres green Arteon 'Big Sur' concept

Volkswagen unveiled its latest addition to the 2021 Enthusiast Fleet family - a striking, green-wrapped 2021 Volkswagen Arteon named after the scenic Californian coastal area, Big Sur. Inspired by the beauty of California's coastline, the design team wanted to create a head-turner that would capture the Arteon's adventurous spirit and aerodynamic sleekness.

Since its debut in 2019, the stylish fastback offers drivers the best of both worlds - the sportiness of a coupe with the space and flexibility of a mid-sized sedan.

The goal was to incorporate an eye-catching forest green wrap throughout the vehicle to reinforce the Arteon's sweeping body lines. Paired with gloss-black, 20-inch Rotiform TUF-R cast wheels and Continental Extreme Contact Plus tyres, the look is both attractive and aggressive.

The California-based teams started out with a 2021 Arteon SEL Premium R-Line and changed the colour using a custom vinyl wrap. The bold shade was inspired by an all-green Golf R that debuted in 2019.

The team executed the modifications in just under a month. Using a Voomeran Lower Valence body kit as a foundation, the designers created custom front splitters, side pieces and a spoiler to fit the vehicle's characteristics. A coilover suspension was also added to give the vehicle a stronger, lower stance.
