Volkswagen has always been a touchstone for automotive innovation, and the new ID. GTI Concept is no exception. Announced to make its grand entrance at the IAA Mobility in Munich, this electric marvel aims to redefine what GTI can mean for a new generation of drivers. By blending cherished features of the GTI lineage with the perks of electric mobility, the ID. GTI Concept prepares to usher in an era that honors both tradition and innovation.
A New Paradigm: Intelligent Performance
The ID. GTI Concept isn't merely an exercise in what could be—it's destined for production. It's engineered on the ID. 2all concept, a budget-friendly electric compact that makes a perfect base for a new-age GTI. The revamped GTI acronym now incorporates "intelligence," in addition to its historical racing pedigree. This reflects the car's advanced drivetrain and electronic oversight mechanisms like a front-axle differential lock and a Vehicle Dynamics Manager. These cutting-edge features are designed to offer a highly responsive and safe driving experience.
A Nod to the Past, An Eye on the Future
The design of the ID. GTI Concept is where the past and future collide. It retains core GTI aesthetics—a red radiator grille and unique wheel patterns—while embracing a fresh, compact form. A set of striking 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels and a long wheelbase add to its dynamic appearance. Inside, the car pays homage to its predecessors with a classic three-spoke steering wheel and a GTI Experience Control system, which allows drivers to modify a range of vehicle settings, including the emulation of shift points from classic GTI models.
To meet the demands of today’s tech-savvy drivers, the car comes equipped with a state-of-the-art digital cockpit and an augmented reality head-up display. For those keen to test its mettle, the car offers a specialized mode for the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. Infotainment and air-conditioning controls are nearly ready for production, emphasizing user-friendly interfaces and comfort-focused ergonomic seating.
The ID. GTI Concept is Volkswagen's answer to the future, one that doesn't forget its roots but is eager to adapt to new horizons.
