Volkswagen ID. GTI Concept Revealed to the World

Prepare for a thrilling new chapter in the world of hot hatchbacks as Volkswagen electrifies the iconic GTI with the introduction of the ID. GTI Concept. This futuristic yet nostalgia-inducing electric hatchback offers a glimpse into the electrified future of the legendary Volkswagen GTI lineage.

Volkswagen ID. GTI Exterior

Volkswagen's mission is to unite the storied 48-year legacy of the GTI with the electric potential of the ID. GTI Concept. The eye-catching red exterior takes inspiration from the previously revealed VW ID. Buzz Concept, infusing the ID. GTI with a sportier stance, distinctive black and red accents, and wheels reminiscent of the classic Mk1 GTI. With its darker taillights, sleek rear wing, and pervasive GTI branding, this electric hatchback embodies the spirit of the iconic hot hatch.

Electric Power and Personalization

Beneath its sporty facade, the ID. GTI Concept packs a high-performance single-motor electric powertrain. This innovative setup includes an electronic differential lock for the front wheels, promising an exhilarating driving experience. The GTI Experience Control empowers drivers to fine-tune aspects such as suspension, steering, sound, and shift points, allowing for customization to match GTI models from different eras.

Volkswagen ID. GTI Interior

Stepping inside, you'll find a harmonious blend of retro aesthetics and cutting-edge technology. The digital interior with dual screens from the ID. Buzz carries over, but the ID. GTI Concept offers the option of classic gauge displays for a nostalgic touch. Furthermore, for those conquering legendary tracks like the Nürburgring, an augmented heads-up display projects the track layout onto the lower corner of the windshield. Passengers can also keep track of lap times via this immersive display.

The Exciting Future of Volkswagen ID. GTI

Volkswagen assures us that the ID. GTI Concept is more than just a concept—it's headed for production. While specific details about the production model's release date remain undisclosed, VW emphasizes that this electrified hot hatch will retain its practicality, comfortably seating five passengers and providing 17.3 cubic feet of cargo space.

To catch a glimpse of the future of hot hatchbacks, mark your calendars for IAA Mobility 2023, where the ID. GTI Concept will take center stage from September 5th.
