Suspended from a cable wire 310 metres above the ground, the model made its dramatic appearance at one of the world"s great tourist attractions, Sugar Loaf Mountain in the heart of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The VW is set to stay there until the end of the month, by which time it will have been seen up close

by more than 60,000 people - mostly foreign tourists - in passing cable cars. Powerful spot lights mean the CrossFox - the off-road version of the Fox city runabout, which replaces the Lupo - is also visible at night.

The CrossFox has been on sale in Brazil since March, where it is proving a hit. Auto Express drove the new model, billed as a Fiat Panda 4x4 rival, in Issue 852. Although it"s powered by a 100bhp 1.6-litre engine, the car is only front-wheel drive. Meanwhile, bosses have confirmed plans for a Dune off-road variant of the latest Polo. "The original Dune was a hit in Europe, and a new version will appear at some point," said a spokesman.
