Welcome everyone, to Volkswagen"s latest EV the e-Beetle. Yep, it"s a classic People"s Car without the air-cooled engine in the back. Before you get too excited, though, it"s only a concept for now. Boooo. It"s the work of VW"s subsidiary, Volkswagen Group Components, which has partnered with a company called eClassics to transfer the powertrain from a new e-Up into the Beetle. The electric motor is good for just 81bhp so it"s not rapid. VW says it"ll go from 0-50mph (that"s a new one on us) in just over eight seconds. Yeah, not rapid at all. Top speed is apparently 93mph.
