Cryptic teasers are a common tactic used by automakers to generate excitement, and it seems that Volkswagen has joined the trend with their latest teaser. The company recently posted a video of a white rabbit on social media, accompanied by a message honoring the rabbit for a good reason. This has sparked speculation about the return of the Rabbit.

Volkswagen has remained tight-lipped about the details, but they did mention that they have been working on a very special vehicle in their garage. A countdown suggests that the mysterious vehicle will be unveiled in six days, on September 3. This comes exactly one week after the initial teaser was released, adding to the anticipation.

While nothing is official, there are a few possibilities that come to mind. Spy photographers caught a hotter Golf R undergoing testing last fall, equipped with canards. Sources only described it as a "special" car. Additionally, Volkswagen has already confirmed a GTI 380 package for 2024.

Another possibility is that Volkswagen is putting the finishing touches on the facelifted Golf. Numerous prototypes have been spotted with minimal disguise, showcasing an evolutionary front bumper and slimmer headlights. Inside the cabin, prototypes have been seen with a larger, free-standing display and a revised steering wheel with physical switchgear.
