Volkswagen will show a new concept model in Geneva called the Bulli, which is a development of the Microbus study from 2001. However, at 3.99 meters long, 1.75 meters wide and 1.70 meters tall, with a wheelbase of 2.62 meters, the six-seater compact is more compact than the its predecessor. Volkswagen claims that the interior is spacious enough for six passengers, with three seating up front and three at the back.

The boot volume is 370 liters, but it can be extended to 1,600 liters when the rear bench is folded. The Bulli can also be turned into a camper van, since the seat system can be transformed into a large reclining surface.

The minivan is fitted with a removable iPad in the center console that serves as an infotainment touchscreen, controlling functions such as Bluetooth hands-free telephone, navigation system and media center.

Here's one Volkswagen Bus you wouldn't want to mess around with. It's called the Mental Breakdown and it's the creation of Wayne Allman from the British county of Warwickshire. Of the original 1965 VW model upon which it is based, only the driver's cabin was left intact. Power comes from an 8.4-liter supercharhed Keith Black V8 Hemi unit that runs on methanol and delivers 1,700bhp.

At this week's IAA Commercial Vehicle Show, held from 23rd to 31st September 2010 in Hanover, Germany, Volkswagen is showing off a limited edition version of its latest T5 Multivan created to celebrate the model's 25th anniversary.

Aptly named Multivan Edition 25, VW's full-size people carrier is based on the Comfortline trim model adding among other things,a black matt lacquered roof, tinted head lamps and tail lights, black 18-inch light metal alloy wheels and unique decals on the rocker panels.

When it comes to customizing classic VW Beetle or Bus models, the sky's the limit to what owners can create. This particular 1967 example of the VW Bus that also goes by the names Type 2, Transporter and Microbus, has been turned into a hip convertible though some may find that it looks more like a bathtub on wheels. Either way, the custom made Bus with the suicide rear-doors is up for grabs on eBay - mullet loving blond will most likely not be included in the transaction

Campervan lovers and fans of English rock band "The Who" that was formed back in the early '60s will get a kick out VW's new miniature "Magic Bus" models created by German manufacturers Wiking and Schuco.

Volkswagen parts specialist Just Kampers teamed up with artist Andy Saunders to produce the World’s Lowest VW Bus – also known as the Camper. The 3-foot (1 meter) tall VW Bus entitled "Vancake" that’s fully road legal was created by Saunders and his team in just three days during this past weekend’s (July 18 to 20) Bug Jam festival at the UK’s Santa Pod Raceway. Apart from lowering the roof the team also applied a custom paint job and an electric sunroof. -More photos after the jump
