• Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport R is stylized as a serial coupe-like Teramont, but has nothing to do with it, except for the engine. The racing SUV is equipped with a gasoline two-liter "turbo four", boosted from 238 to 480 horsepower. According to the creators, the recoil can be increased to 600 forces, but this will seriously affect the reliability.
• The SUV received a steel space frame, a plastic body, long travel suspension, multiple spare wheels, a carbon fiber front fascia, a roll cage and two racing seats. There are no other details - the car is under development.
• The racing debut of the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport R will take place at the 1000-mile (1609 kilometers) Baj1000 rally-raid in November 2020, which will take place in the Mexican desert. One of the pilots will be the racer and ex-host of the American version of Top Gear Tanner Faust.
