Not even a month after the reveal of the ID.4 GTX, VW’s CEO Ralf Brandstätter unveiled a concept EV on his LinkedIn page. The car is called ID.X, a performance version of the ID.3 hatch, equipped with a bigger battery and modified chassis and appearance.
Brandstätter says the car is 200 kg lighter than the ID.4 GTX, which probably helps to reach the announced performance of 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds.
Brandstätter said:
“We just introduced the ID.4 GTX. Our first electric performance model is very well received even with our engineers—because with it they have discovered the fun of developing high-performance electric cars. And so we just let them do it. Powertrain, chassis, and infotainment are modified and give the vehicle an extraordinary appearance inside and outside. The result of this experiment is a powerhouse with all-wheel drive, 245 kW power and sporty design. I have often talked about how versatile our MEB [platform] is; the ID.X makes this very clear. Even if the ID.X will not be a production vehicle, we will take up many ideas.”
Various VW sources say they “suspect” it will be built.
