Detroit 2008: Volkswagen Unveils The Passat CC


After months of informed speculation and spy shots, Volkswagen finally revealed its CLS-inspired Passat. The four-door coupe is based off the Passat platform and carries over several of the standard sedan's cues, but the sleek shape of the plummeting C-pillar, shortened rear overhang and revised fascia make it considerably more upmarket.

When the Passat CC goes on sale later this year, it will be fitted with the 3.6-liter FSI V6 making around 300 hp, along with three selectable chassis control systems, spanning the range from Sport to Normal and Comfort.

Volkswagen will also begin offering its own version of the Park Assist feature on the CC, similar to the system used on the Lexus LS460.
