TheVolkswagen took the wraps off
the classic Microbus-styled I.D. BUZZ (cough, cough) concept at
the Detroit auto show, previewing one of the Modular Electric
Drive Kit (MEB) platform electric vehicles it plans to field in
the next few years. The second in a line of I.D. concepts, the
BUZZ features a completely electric powertrain with a range of up
to 270 miles. The BUZZ concept has one electric motor at the front
axle and also one at the rear, with the two producing a total of
369 hp. VW says that the all-wheel-drive BUZZ can make the sprint
from 0-60 mph in just five seconds and up to a top speed of 99
mph, decidedly unlike the microbus of yore.
