Volkswagen's new e-Golf was revealed in Frankfurt, and will launch in Europe next Spring and in Asia and North America late 2014.
The electric motor produces 114hp and 199 lb-ft of torque. 0-100 km/h (62 mph) takes 10.4 seconds and has a top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). The transmission is a single speed gearbox that allows the motor to 'rev' to 12,000 rpm. The driving range is between 130-190 km (81-118 miles) on a single charge. Charging takes 13 hours from a conventional plug, 8 hours from a wall box unit, and when using a special charging station it takes just under an hour.
Pricing has not been released, but it expected to be around €30,878 ($41,000 US).
