Nostalgia from the 60's. In the absence of the expected generation of New Beetle, Volkswagen shows in the 2011 Geneva Motor Show a prototype 'retro', the Bulli Concept, based on the T1 Camper of the 60's. This concept anticipates a possible line of compact MPV resurrecting the iconic hippie van. What do you think? Leave your comments, the most interesting will be published in the journal Hwy.
Alternatively, this news debate on our forums. Fashion 'vintage' trend-setter in the Geneva Motor Show 2011. In the Swiss sample models on display today as the Morgan 3 Wheeler or the Spyder Concept Wiesmann, which adds this 'revival' signed by Volkswagen and responds to the name of Bulli Concept.
This is a revision of the iconic German brand T1, aka Microbus, Camper, or profane language, 'the hippie van. " Volkswagen was in 1950 when the world was this van. At that time, petrol engine fitted to a little over a liter and 24 hp. Their review of the XXI century has been conceived under the current requirements: fuel propellant is replaced by an electric one that yields 145 hp.
Powered by lithium-ion batteries located on the floor after the motor show a range of 300 kilometers, a maximum speed of 140 km / h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. Where else can appreciate the legendary heritage of the van is in the design, with oversized Volkswagen emblem on the front or the two-tone bodywork inspired by the Samba Bus Halfway between retro and futuristic, el Bulli is intended to lead the way a new line of compact minivans.
Not belie its size: 3.99 meters long, 1.75 wide, 1.70 tall and a wheelbase of 2.62 meters. Yes, its length is less than a Volkswagen Golf, with these measures accommodate surprising that six people. Volkswagen Bulli The secret is in the carrier that maximizes space with a minimalist design: only two rows of seats, a rear and above, 3 +3 provision.
To get to add a third place in the front seats, Volkswagen plans an open space, a result of eliminating the shift lever in the middle. This is replaced by a lever located near the steering wheel to the right of the driver, with only two positions: forward and reverse. Behind the wheel are only the clock and odometer in the center integrated IPAD serves as a multi touch screen console.
Another of its strengths is its modularity. While all six seats occupied carrying capacity is 370 liters, this increases to 1,600 liters if the back row folded down. In addition, the central front seat can be folded if only two people traveling. In Bulli, Volkswagen increases the supply of retro models, which will join the new generation of New Beetle, presumably, we will see in the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
