Back in Black

Volkswagen have released the Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport that has an added dollop of sportiness courtesy of some choice styling bits for a very OEM+ stance

THE VOLKSWAGEN VIRTUS GT HAS BEEN a darling of enthusiasts since it burst on to a market chock-full of SUVs. While that situation still persists, the Virtus GT and the Virtus 1.0 TSI have injected renewed vigour into the sedan segment. But until now, if you wanted a Virtus GT, you had to accept the stately appearance it had, which indicated the driver was somewhat senior. Well, not any longer, because the new Virtus GT Plus Sport chucks the chrome out of the window in favour of a black aesthetic and when you see one of these drive by, you'd immediately assume that the driver is a young person.

Personally, I don't hate chrome when it's done as subtly as on the Virtus, but that said, I prefer blacked-out design elements more than chrome, so the Virtus GT Plus Sport is the kind of the car that fits right into my wheelhouse (disclaimer: this has nothing to do with my physical age).
