The Volkswagen Eos is a new coupe convertible from Volkswagen. It is the successor of the Volkswagen Cabrio, and also Volkswagen's first production sports car/coupe since the Corrado, which ceased production in 1995. Unlike the Cabrio, a convertible version of the Golf hatchback, the Eos is a standalone model with all-new body panels, although it shares the same platform and components from the Golf and Jetta. It takes its name from Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn and wind. The model is set for production in the Volkswagen Autoeuropa factory in Palmela, Portugal.
Prior to the production version, the car was shown as the Concept C concept car at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. The production Eos was presented in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with the North American introduction at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January, 2006.
The Eos utilizes a unique five-piece folding hardtop roof with an integrated glass sunroof. The roof is designed and built by OASys a subisdiary of Webasto Germany. The Eos is expected to be released in North America in the summer of 2006. Production was delayed due to a wind noise problem.
Two engines will be available: a 2.0 liter turbo 4-cylinder motor putting out 200 horsepower and a 3.2 liter VR6 motor that makes 250 horsepower.
