New Volkswagen Cabriolet-Coupé is Called Eos
30 August, 2005
|
The name Eos refers to the Greek goddess of the dawn and evokes associations
with an idealised cabriolet driving situation – in the early minutes of a summer
day. Phonetically, Eos is a quick, clear name which is easy to say all over the
world.
The Eos concept continues to draw on Greek mythology. The goddess Eos rose
with her chariot from the depths of the sea to bring the people daylight every
morning. Eos is also the mother of the wind and of the evening and morning star.
Dawn, wind, stars – this all fits in perfectly with driving this fascinating
cabriolet.
The Eos body concept has not been derived from a closed roof model; it was
developed as an independent cabriolet-coupé. Fundamental technology such as the
engine range (85 kW/115 PS to 184 kW/250 PS) and running gear can all be traced
back to the new Passat, which will be launched in Australia in 2006.
Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, member of the Board of Management with responsibility
for the Volkswagen brand, will unveil the Eos at the International Motor Show
(IAA) in Frankfurt on 12th September 2005.
