Volkswagen might really sell this electric beach buggy
Geneva, Switzerland Volkswagen's ID Buggy, an electric dune buggy concept, was an eye-catching presence at this week's Geneva International Motor Show. The most surprising thing about it, though, is that VW might actually put it into production.
The immensely impractical ID Buggy would never sell in large numbers, VW admits, but it would have one crucial job: Like the VW ID Buzz electric microbus, the buggy will help make Volkswagen's electric cars cool.But while the Microbus could be both cool and practical — it is a van, after all — the ID Buggy is little else than fun. It has two seats plus a flat space where two people could sit, albeit not legally. There are no windows and there's not even a roof.
