The Volkswagen Group is preparing a bevy of electric vehicles, but a convertible isn\u2019t one of them. That could change in the coming years seeing as how the adjacent design sketch comes directly from VW. Chief Executive Officer Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Ralf Brandst\u00e4tter, took to LinkedIn<\/em> to share the interesting rendering of an ID.3<\/a> without a roof.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t been green-lighted for production yet, but VW’s man in charge of the passenger car division says it\u2019s “a very tempting idea.” Brandst\u00e4tter goes on to mention an ID.3 Convertible would “provide an entirely new, extraordinary feeling of freedom” and the company is having internal discussions whether an open-top variant of the electric compact hatchback has a business case.<\/p>\n

We wouldn\u2019t hold our breath for a production model to happen in the foreseeable future considering demand for convertibles has dramatically decreased in the last couple of decades. The VW core brand used to have models such as the Eos and Golf convertible, but the sole car with a retractable roof in its lineup is the T-Roc serving as a rather odd convertible crossover mashup.<\/p>\n
