Volkswagen Bulli Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery

What did you think of Volkswagen’s Bulli concept, which was just shown for the first time at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show? VW is apparently hoping you liked it, because rumor (via Autocar in the UK) has it that it’s going into production.

The concept version is powered by a 113-horsepower electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack, which can reportedly be charged in less than an hour. We don’t know if the electric powertrain will make it into the production vehicle (our guess would be no, but who knows?), and there is no word on pricing. Still, how cool would it be to once again see a modern Volkswagen Microbus prowling the streets of America? The mind reels at the possibility.

Renault Captur – Click above to watch the video after the jump

We brought you initial details on the Renault Captur crossover concept just a few days ago, and surmised that it looked remarkably similar – if less bug-eyed – to the Nissan Juke. They are, after all, corporate cousins. But the Renault Captur incorporates a number of innovative features of its own, like two-part doors that swing up and down for easy ingress and egress, giant wheels that seem to blend seamlessly into the tires, and that exo-skeleton roof structure. Perhaps the Captur’s most intriguing design element, which you can see for yourself in the footage after the jump, is the lighting that’s worked into the body panels themselves. Check it out to see what we’re on about.
