Volkswagen introduced the next member of the ID. concept family at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show - the ID. Buggy.
The ID. Buggy can also be converted to a 2+2-seater and an additional electric motor could be added to make four-wheel drive possible
ID. Buggy is at once futuristic and retro. The MEB chassis integrates a 62kWh lithium-ion battery into the floor and a 189bhp electric motor in the rear to give it an expected range of 250km on the WLTP cycle. The minimalistic design - no doors or roof on this two-seater - gives drivers the purest experience of classic beach cruising.
All buggies from the 60s featured a high degree of modular variability - based on the chassis of the legendary Beetle with a four-cylinder boxer engine running at the rear. Small-series manufacturers stretched a body made of fiberglass over the chassis and engine of the Beetle, thus writing automotive history.
The same versatility is possible with ID. Buggy - while the ID. Buggy concept car is a pure two-seater; it can also be converted to a 2+2-seater and an additional electric motor could be added to the front axle in order to make four-wheel drive possible.
In addition, the Buggy's modular design allows for the composite upper body to be detached from the MEB chassis, opening up a world of possibilities for third-party manufacturers, as the original Meyers Manx kit did for the first buggies.
