The GTI has gone electric. Following the ID. Polo GTI, Volkswagen has revealed the new ID.3 GTI – and this one is serious about performance.
Nic Hume takes a closer look at VW’s new electric hot hatch, which packs 240kW (326PS), 545Nm and rear-wheel drive, making it the most powerful production GTI Volkswagen has ever built. It can hit 62mph in just 5.6 seconds using Launch Control, has a 124mph top speed and a predicted range of up to 373 miles.
And VW hasn’t simply bolted a big motor into an ID.3. The GTI gets specially tuned DCC sports suspension, a new GTI driving mode, unique 20-inch Wörthersee wheels and a suitably aggressive new front end. Inside, there are sports seats, GTI details and Volkswagen’s latest Innovision infotainment system.
Nicola takes a detailed walkaround to see whether Volkswagen has managed to capture the spirit of the legendary GTI in an electric car.
