Volkswagen has unleashed the first images and details of the new E-Bugster concept car that is due to be showcased at Auto China in Beijing next week. It is an updated roofless version of the model that was shown earlier this year in Detroit
The name is derived from the American nickname for the Beetle, 'Bug' and the 'speedster' body style and is considered to be a pre-production preview of the new Beetle Convertible
Power is generated from an electric motor that produces 116PS (85kW / 114hp) enabling the speedster to accelerate from 0-100kph (0-62mph) in 10.8 seconds.
The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 28.3 kWh and can be recharged by standard or ultra-fast DC charging methods. It also makes use of a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) similar to the F1 system to recharge as well.
