2012 Volkswagen E-Bugster Speedster Concept

Electric vehicles such as motor show concepts and production models often have long been a tradition of unique styling and experimental materials. Fortunately (depending on who you ask), this is changing. Cars like the BMW 1 Series ActiveE and the MINI E stated that the futuristic modern design engines and can get along, and the Nissan Leaf EV is a step in the right direction.

Earlier this year, Volkswagen E-Bugster the conventional drive train of the New Beetle has found himself switched to an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. Now it is back for the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, in convertible form. Example of what probably gets debut as regular gasoline Beetle convertible, the two-seat E-Bugster improved Speedster the same package as the hardtop styling concept, including large wheels, new bumpers and a rear spoiler ducklip.

The topic gets under the skin, with the same power of 85kW and 270nm electric motor coupled with a lithium-ion battery 28.3kWh. With this heart, VW promises a 0-100km / h in 10.8 seconds - about two and a half-second deficit to the normal 2.5-liter petrol engine speeds.

Driving range of a charge is listed at around 160 kilometers, and a charge of 80 percent can be achieved in less than 30 minutes. Whether we are one of the e-Bugster cars on display in showrooms remains unclear. Volkswagen has already confirmed a number of variations in the electric-current model lines, but the beetles have to figure out an EV production plans. With regard to the regular convertible Beetle, we need an international debut in the coming year to see during the regular hardtop Beetle is expected to hit Australia later this year.
