At the end of March we could already learn from Volkswagen that the VW ID.4 should come in a gtx-perfomance variant to start. Also a high performance variant of the ID.3 is planned. In mid-May, VW became a little more concrete and gave to understand that one plans a series of “ID.R “electric vehicles to build and sell. VW Group Management Board member Jurgen Stackmann expressed himself as follows to Topgear: “The future of R must and will be electric. We are still working on what we have started two and a half years – which of course was not electrical, though it is exciting – but the work that lies ahead of us is and will be electrically.”
Volkswagen R is the brand with which Volkswagen features a high-performance model. The R badge is known mainly for use on the Golf R, but there is about half a dozen R models, including the ID.R-Electric race car. In addition, Volkswagen confirmed that there is a high-performance variant of the ID.3 “Active Considering”. Volkswagen Motorsport could thus based on the modular electric drive modular (MEB) new motorsport concepts for the ID. Develop family. This will cause the ID.3 R electric hatchback variant is based on the standard platform, but over a stronger electric drive, as well as a more powerful battery pack has.
“We have the ID.3, who comes out this year. So we think we are in the perfect situation to build an electric R model. But first we have to understand what the enthusiasm for a powerful electric vehicle.”- Jost Capito, Chief of the brand R Performance of Volkswagen
Capito also gave to understand that it is “quite simple” to complete in an e-car stunning sprint from 0 to 100 km / h. He added, “I think electric cars have to have more character than that.”The boss of VW’s Perfomance brand also expressed a technology transfer from the ID.Route series cars: “We have different cells and construction methods and all technical teachings from motorsport. There are other requirements for a high performance car than a street car, and we look at all aspects to see what we can do with the technology. We have seen how you in the ID.R works, and now we want to see how she looks in a street car.”
The most tangible project of the Perfomance forge is the ID. 3r. The model, which is to be launched by 2024, will have a four-wheel drive as well as comprehensive revised motor and battery systems. The powertrain and the batteries are developed with the help of Volkswagen Motorsport.
