Ok, it's an electric car but, it's an old school one. We need some classic spark burners to take on these new fangled devices that think they invented the game.

Golf Mk2 citySTROMer
In 1984 Volkswagen, in cooperation with RWE, released the second generation 'Gold citySTROMer, an electric version of the Mk2 Golf. It was the first electric Volkswagen to enter serial production as the Mk1 citySTROMER was only a prototype vehicle. The Mk2 citySTROMer had a range of approximately 31 mi (50 km) and used 16 gel-electrolyte batteriesmounted under the cargo area and rear seats. Just 100 Mk2 citySTROMers were produced and sold for 45,000DM(~US$34,000) until production ceased in 1985.[10] The citySTROMer name was continued in later models; the Jetta citySTROMer and the Mk3 Golf citySTROMer.[11]
