Volkswagen Goes All Tron in E-Bugster Promo Video

The E-Bugster concept car was revealed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, combining a focused attitude with electric propulsion to create a stunning car that looks fit for the track, or at least fitter than the regular Beetle. A promo video also came with the reveal and VW has taken a sort of Tron: The Electric Bug attitude to creating the spot.
We’re not going to jump up with joy at the thought of an electric Beetle, but the idea of a Beetle Speedster is pretty awesome. The stripped down car has only two seats, offers a wider track and is lower than the 21st Century Bug.

Powering the concept is a n electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack that offer an output of 114 hp and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft). Also, it has an estimated range of about 100 miles.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
