The GT Plus Sport variant concept of the Volkswagen Virtus was showcased in the first half of this year, which carried over the same design of the sedan but featured some blacked-out elements and new badges. Now, the production-spec version was spotted before its launch which gives a clear idea of what this new variant will have to offer. Let us understand the Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport with the help of 11 images:

Exterior

The images show that the Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus Sport variant is finished in a Candy White colour option. However, it might also come with some other colour options available with the regular Virtus.

At the front, the design of the Virtus GT Plus Sport is similar to the regular model but features a blacked-out front grille. The ‘GT’ badging on the grille, which is finished in chrome in the regular GT variants, has been given a red accent in this upcoming GT Plus Sport variant. The chrome strip in the bumper under the fog lights has also been given a gloss black finish.

At the side, the red GT badge is carried onto the front fender and red brake callipers have been retained from the regular GT variants. The 16-inch alloy wheels are blacked-out (like the regular Virtus) and it also features blacked-out ORVMs (outside rearview mirrors) along with black chrome elements on the door handles. The roof, while partially visible in the images, is finished in a Carbon Steel Grey colour.

This upcoming Virtus variant also gets blacked-out LED tail lights and a blacked-out lower bumper. The ‘Virtus’ badging is finished in black and the tailgate also features a red GT badge and a black spoiler.
