Chicago Auto Show 2009: Volkswagen CC Gold Coast concept
It made its debut over the summer at Pebble Beach. It showed up again in November at SEMA. And finally, we have a set of our own live shots of the CC Gold Coast concept because Volkswagen sent the swanky 4-door to Chi-town.
The Gold Coast is doused in a rich-looking brown finish dubbed “Pepe Pepper” by DuPont, and it adopts a squat, muscular stance riding on a set of KW coilovers. 19-inch wheels fill out the wells nicely, and a full ground effects kit brings the look even closer to the ground. Veedub’s 280-horsepower 3.6 FSI V6 sits underhood, mated to a six-speed DSG. Stopping power on this looker is further enhanced with a set of the Audi R8’s ceramic discs in front.
While the CC Gold Coast is technically a concept, VW’s making sure it gets in front of as many eyes as possible. Hence, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the “concept” moniker eventually turn into “special edition” – minus those supercar stoppers.
