Sleeper , a designation for a car with great potential, but which does not show visually. A perfect example of a sleeper is the sporty Volkswagen Passat concept , which will be shown next week in Detroit .
First of all, it should be noted that this is the American version of the VW Passat . It differs from the European one in its different design, dimensions and tuning of the chassis. But back to the car itself.
It's full and official name is the Volkswagen Passat Performance Concept , and in terms of appearance, the Performance can only be recognized by an expert. Practically the only major change is the installation of 19-inch wheels . Other changes such as bi-xenon lights, double exhaust tips or carbon mirror covers can be easily overlooked.
However, what cannot be seen from the outside is under the hood. This is where the new, turbocharged four-cylinder 1.8 TSI of the EA888 series with a power of 253 horsepower is hidden, which is connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission. In addition to the engine, this Passat also has a stiffened chassis and sportier steering. In short, everything to make it a perfect sleeper .
