Volkswagen E-Up the new Electric Mini Concept Car will be announced sometime in 2013. Volkswagen is hoping that by then it will become the Bettle of the 21st century. Volkswagen E-Up powertrain installed,Volkswagen E-Up is pretty straightforward stuff as far as modern EVs are concerned. The 60-kilowatt electric motor is mounted ahead of the passenger compartment and drives the front wheels through a single-speed variable transmission that is controlled from a rotary knob on the console. The motor is torquey — it peaks at 155 pound-feet — but because the microcompact weighs nearly 2,400 pounds, acceleration is stately: zero to 60 mph takes just over 11 seconds, and speed tops out at 84 mph.
