The I.D. Buzz has all-new LED headlights that also communicate the vehicle’s status.

Add that to the nearly zero overhangs and the 22-inch wheels and you have a car that is modern and timeless at the same time. The new car will have 369 hp that is completely generated by the electric motor and its 111 kWh battery pack.

With an estimated range of 300 miles and the ability to charge 80 percent of its batteries’ energy capacity in 30 minutes, the I.D. Buzz is expected to be as much of a hit as it was back in the 60s.
