Inspired by one of the rarest VWs ever, the work that went into this SUV build is no joke.
with a set of 22-inch wheels for his Atlas and a smaller set for a Harlequin Golf SEMA build.
Orr partnered with Black Forest Industries, the same company that made the Atlas' custom four-color shift knob, to fabricate seats that nod to those in the 1996 Golf Harlequin; their plaid pattern is akin to what's found in the GTI hot hatchback with blue, green, yellow, and red stripes. Orr also added Volkswagen Accessories Muddy Buddy floor and trunk mats as well as rear seat covers. The result is a car that feels like a rolling temple to Volkswagen's Harlequin heritage.
The result is an Atlas that drives nothing like its OEM counterparts. Orr's Atlas Harlequin rides much more like a sport wagon than a family-friendly SUV, stiffly sprung but still compliant for daily use. Volkswagen's throaty VR6 engine opens up with a burble thanks to the modified quad-tip exhaust setup, and the beefier brakes provide ample stopping power when called upon to haul the ute down from speed.
The only downside, he says, to driving it in the real world is the amount of attention he gets from curious onlookers. We experienced this firsthand while out in the field with the Atlas; people simply want to know what it is, if it came like this from the factory, and why it even exists. That's why Orr uses a V-8 Volkswagen Touareg for most of his towing duties.
