The Artega GT is the world’s first car with bodywork made entirely of polyurethane. The roof and bonnet now contain paper honeycomb in order to provide even greater rigidity and reduce weight. And the underbody now consists of aluminium honeycomb material, which is also more rigid and lightweight. By implementing extensive safety measures in the chassis, including a frontal deformation zone and side impact protection, and after undergoing numerous crash tests, the Artega GT has attained a level of safety that is comparable with large production series cars. The four airbags, seatbelt tensioners and ultra-modern Bosch chassis systems set standards that have not previously been seen in small series production cars. In addition, the Artega GT now also has engine electronics that have been newly developed in order to ensure that they suit the car’s characteristics perfectly. The exceptional agility of the Artega GT is assisted by the double-shift gearbox that has been specially manufactured by Volkswagen. The originally planned series transmission was not compatible with this requirement. The unique technological package is rounded off by a state-of-the-art on-board electrical system that would normally only be seen in large scale production, as well as the latest in headlight technology and wing mirrors, which already meet the latest legal requirements.
