The Vario II is a 2+2 with a modular roofing system proposed by the Swiss student Alexander Guye of the Art Center College. Of the various solutions presented, it was this one that appealed most to Herbert Schafer and he decided to transpose it into 1:1 scale.
This is a more futuristic car than the Vario I, but a dream car that responds perfectly to the will to demonstrate on a concrte basis the versatilityof the Golf-Syncro platform.
The Volkswagen Vario was a design study shown in Frankfurt way back in 1991. It has a vario-roof folding-steel top that has only recently gone into production.
Other futuristic design elements include slim-line headlights and multi-dome taillights, since copied by other manufacturers.
