Volkswagen E-Bugster - The Beetle with E-lectrifying preformance...

More Power, Less Flower.

The latest Beetle might be ‘more power, less flower’, but that doesn’t mean that it’s anything other than environmentally conscientious, and that’s especially the case with the E-Bugster concept, which is powered purely by electricity.

Revealed this week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the
two-seat E-Bugster continues the latest Beetle’s sporty theme.  An electric motor provides 85 kWh of power, which can propel it from 0 to 60 mph in 10.9 seconds, and yet offer a range of at least 110 miles from the 28.3 kWh lithium-ion batteries. 

And when the E-Bugster needs a top-up, a fast-charging function allows complete recharging in just 35 minutes.

The E-Bugster is only a concept at this stage.  The petrol-powered production Beetle is available to order now, with first deliveries due in April.
