Volkswagen doesn't just intend on launching its
Golf-sized I.D. hatchback but according to Auto Express, is also developing an
all-new Scirocco coupe with the same electric MEB platform.
The German company says the Scirocco EV could be one
of the “emotional cars” it needs in its forthcoming range of electric vehicles
and said it may adopt a similar shape to the most recent Scirocco.
It is reported that courtesy of the MEB platform,
the new two-door coupe could be fitted with a number of different batteries to
alter range between 200 and 375 miles. The flexibility of MEB will also allow
VW to install different powered electric motors with entry-level models most
likely to use a 170 hp motor powering the front wheels. Elsewhere, the range
could include a 300 hp version with both front and rear electric motors sending
power to all four wheels.
From a design standpoint, the new Scirocco will
inevitably adopt design cues from the I.D. hatchback and combine them with the
two-door coupe shape of the current car.
