The Volkswagen Orbit is a concept car by styling house Italdesign shown at the 1986 Turin Motor Show.
[1] The Orbit was a further refinement of previous Italdesign concepts such as the Alfa Romeo New York Taxi (1976), Lancia Megagamma (1978), Capsula (1982) and Together (1984).
The concept was built on a Volkswagen Golf Mk2 platform, specifically the new Syncro.
The concept was 15cm taller than the existing Volkswagen Golf and featured a large amount of glass.
[3] The Orbit would be developed further into the Italdesign Machimoto,[4] shown the same year.
