2018 Atlas Tanner Foust SEMA concept
“Overlanding has risen in popularity in the past couple of years,” said Tanner Foust.
“People are looking for ways to get outdoors and go on adventure trips with the whole family. The Atlas is perfect for off-pavement trips, and I wanted this concept to enhance the vehicle’s capabilities while still maintaining its utility and VW DNA.”

Large tires and off-road wheels compliment the extended fenders and lower body panel cladding to give the vehicle an extreme off-road look.
The bumper design raises the approach angle to help provide underbody protection.
