2005 Volkswagen Sfero

The name of this soon-to-be crossover is Sfero. The 2007 model should fit between VW's Passat and upmarket Phaeton. The Sfero shares a rear-mounted transaxle with the Maserati Quattroporte sedan.


The transaxle design makes room for Audi's V8 engine family, which is too long for the Sfero's engine bay when coupled to a more conventional transmission. This means the Sfero potentially could be fitted out with the 450-plus horsepower of the turbo Audi V8.
Varying reports from our insiders at Volkswagen tell us that passenger accommodations will be for either five or seven people.
