THE iconic VW Camper Van has had a cool makeover, with the latest version able to completely drive itself. Volkswagen unveiled its new electric-powered eight-seater model, dubbed the I.D Buzz, which will go on sale in 2022. The iconic VW Camper Van has had a cool makeover, with the latest version able to completely drive itself The retro motor is an updated version of the much-loved VW Microbus, made between the 1950s and 1970s. Designed by former VW chief executive Heinz Nordhoff, the first ever VW van was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in November 1949. For the next four decades, the basic design remained the same, with around five million buses being produced over that time. The original VW Camper was particularly popular during the counterculture movement of the 1960s and earned the nickname ‘Hippie van’. Volkswagen’s new model will be revealed for the first time at the Detroit Motor Show this week, with the German manufacturers hailing the van “a new epoch of mobility”.
The new model, right, retains many of the retro features from the 1950s original, left Due to its popularity during the counterculture movement of the 1960s, the VW Camper was often referred to as a ‘Hippie van or wagon’ This is the second model from the upcoming Volkswagen I.D. range, which the brand hopes will go some way to repairing its damaged reputation in the wake of the ‘dieselgate’ scandal. The company claims the van “forges links between the legendary origins of the Volkswagen brand and its electrifying future”. It retains the VW Camper’s box shape, sliding doors and two-tone paint design, with an added glowing band of LED lights to separate the colours, a cool back-lit VW logo and huge 22-inch alloy wheels. The I.D. Buzz boasts two electric motors, producing an incredible 369bhp – around the same as a Ford Focus RS Mountune or a Jaguar F-Type coupe. This is compared to the 50bhp sported by its 1960s predecessor.

It goes from zero to 62mph in less than five seconds and has a top speed of 99mph. The motor also has a self-drive feature for when the driver wants to take a break, with front-seat passengers having the option to swivel 180 degrees and face the opposite direction. A statement from Volkswagen reads: “While the driver relaxes, laser scanners, ultrasonic and radar sensors and cameras monitor other road users and the surroundings.” The I.D.

There Volkswagen unveiled its new Golf-sized family car, which is powered by a 168bhp electric motor and batteries capable of covering more than 300 miles between charges. The I.D. Buzz has a 373-mile range by current European test standards, with a fast charge to 80 per cent of its total battery power in just 30 minutes using a 150kW charger. The vehicle is powered by two electric motors – one on each axle – that combine to produce approximately 350bhp GoWesty Front Heater Core
