Volkswagen Unveils the GX3 at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show

In a world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Volkswagen presents the GX3 - a completely new type of motorcycle.

The GX3 was conceived by the Moonraker team and VW's Design Center in California, exclusively with the U.S. in mind, to bring an exciting idea to a fully functioning concept.

With its three wheels and unique design, this Volkswagen opens up a new driving dimension.

Pure affordable performance : crossover between sports car and motorcycle.

It only takes 5.7 seconds to go from 0-62.5 mph (100 km/h) and the fuel consumption in the city is estimated to be 46 mpg (5.2 l/100 km).

GX3 was conceived for the U.S. by the Moonraker team and VW's Design Center in California.

Three wheels, two seats, and off you go in the carpool lane.

Light, fast, and environmentally friendly, the GX3 shows that conceptually it is much closer to a motorcycle than to a classic type automobile.

This two-seater Volkswagen is one of a kind - bold, young, and affordable.

It opens a new driving dimension, turns even the daily commute to work into a small trip to freedom, allows you to cruise in the carpool lane, even if you're driving solo (the GX3 is a motorcycle, after all!) and with its keen handling it opens up completely new horizons for recreational driving.
