Even though <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/volkswagen">Volkswagen</a> won't be offering a gasoline-powered version of its exclamatory little <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/volkswagen+up">Up!</a> city car here in the United States, we're still slated to get its E-Up! electric counterpart. Earlier reports stated that a larger version of the E-Up! <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/22/report-larger-vw-e-up-could-come-to-the-states/">could come Stateside</a> as early as 2013, and we now have spy shots of a pair of Up! prototypes out testing in the Death Valley heat.<br />
<br />
Our keen-eyed spy photographers pointed out that while these two prototypes appear to be very similar, the one with its grille closed off could actually be the all-electric E-Up! model. Thus, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for more spy shots of the VW prototypes as they go through their hot weather testing. For now, have a look at these initial spy shots for yourself in our high-res gallery below.<br />
