Volkswagen Virtus imagined with a matte black paint job and widebody kit [Images]

Volkswagen has not yet announced the prices of the Virtus but it has been gathering a lot of attention at the dealerships. The design of the mid-size sedan is one of the best in the segment right now. It looks well proportioned, has a big boot, high ground clearance and good road presence. Here, we have a rendering of the Virtus in which the artist has imagined the mid-size sedan with a wide body kit and a matte black paint job.

The rendering is done by Bimble Designs. As we can see, the Virtus is finished in a matte black paint shade which is quite rare. The window beltlines have been de-chromed. The fog lamp housing looks the same but now it has a new LED Daytime Running Lamp. The front bumper is slightly different and is more aggressive than the stock Virtus.

From the sides, we can see that the wheel arches are slightly flared which gives a more aggressive stance to the sedan. The alloy wheels also look different and are finished in matte black. Moreover, the brake calipers are in yellow now.

At the rear, the tail lamp design is similar but the elements have been changed. There is a boot lid spoiler and a more aggressive bumper with a diffuser. It now gets a different exhaust setup also. Moreover, the ride height of the sedan has also been decreased significantly.

It is important to note that Volkswagen has not announced that they will be offering a matte black version or a Virtus with a wide body kit. Having said that, the rendering of the Virtus does look very good and has a lot of road presence.
