Volkswagen’s Beetle has reinvented to fit the module of 2012 as the pure electric E-Bugster whereas the name “E-Bugster” is derived as: “E” is to represent the electric, “Bug” is the nick of iconic Beetle and “speedster” represents the open-top two seater as described by the company at Detroit 2012 although its not a true roadster as the roof is fixed. The car is powered by a 114-horsepower electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. The E-Bugster is easily rechargeable by single phase AC current or by ultra-fast DC charging at dedicated stations as the car uses a “Combined Charging System”, developed by a German–US team consisting of Audi, Porsche, BMW, Daimler,Volkswagen, GM and Ford.The quick-charge function is installed to ensure recharge time of 35 minutes by the “central electric module” weighs 80kg and VW say it provides a range of “at least” 180km in real-world conditions. In comparison to the concept that was showcased at the 2006 NAIAS of the New Beetle Ragster Concept , the E-Bugster’s design has been revised heavily from front and back whereas  the roof is lowered by 7.4 cm and the side windows are smaller. It is expected that units under this name will go into production in vehicles as the Golf in 2013. Well, the fans of Volkswagen are looking forward for the official press release.
