Volkswagen's Scirocco To Be Reborn As A Performance EV

The Volkswagen Scirocco will be reinvented as a sporty two-door EV coupe for its next generation, and it will be based on the company’s new all-electric MEB platform, Auto Express can reveal.

Previewed here by our exclusive images, the Scirocco EV will share many of its components with VW’s forthcoming I.D. family of pure-electric cars. That will allow the new model to keep the current car’s compact dimensions and offer vastly improved interior space.

"oh joy - rapture" - not

A car so small I probably could not get into it - and a limited range too -wow -all the features I don't want in one vehicle.

@TomM: the world does not revolve around you and your large body. There are plenty people who will fit in this car. Also not everyone is a long distance traveler anyway.

With a range of 150-200 miles, this small EV would be a lot of fun to drive around town and country roads. If it handles as well as the gas version, it will be a hit.

Repeat after me "Public... Charging... Stations"

Good! See, you can do it! ;)

And the VW microbus is returning as an EV, too!

I believe if this comes to pass -- the "reincarnation" of old models as lots of new EV offerings -- then VW will discover with great diversity what low sales numbers look like.

I think this forum should be renamed the "Guys who look at concept car pics and then whine about them".

Nah. It should be "Men with common sense who look at concept cars and the idiots who believe that they are real".
