eco

The Volkswagen EcoRacer concept will be used as a source of inspiration for the future roadster which will be launched at the end of this year. The new Volkswagen concept might be a roadster which is smaller than the EcoRacer, taking some elements from its predecesor. There are speculations that the future concept will have a TFSI 2.0 liter engine or an ecological engine. Most probably, the model will be signed with the name of the designer Walter de Silva.

With a sporty and dynamically styled body that defies the conventional image of eco-cars, this next generation compact EV is loaded with a newly developed battery and has achieved more than double the range of the current advanced EV “R1e”

Aim of Development

Not a week goes by without a hot new electric vehicle being announced, and this week is no exception. The Swiss company Mindset AG has announced that it is planning to produce an ultra-lightweight hybrid vehicle with roof-mounted solar panels. The hybrid coupe, dubbed Six50, is the work of former VW head of design Murat Günak and from what we’ve seen of the preliminaries, this car is as cool looking as it sounds.
