Volkswagen's first electric ID GTI will be 'a real go kart' to drive
According to Grunitz, Volkswagen’s first electric GTI will be “a real go kart” to drive. He’s already driven a prototype, claiming, “It’s really amazing.” You can see the concept pulls design features from VW’s classic GTI models. However, the company promises new tech will enable even more control and handling for that “go kart” like feel.

GTI is a trademark for VW with some heritage. It carries some implications for potential buyers. Like Design elements, emotion, handling capabilities and reasonable pricing for a sportscar-like vehicle.
GTI – for decades now, this name has stood for compact sports cars from Volkswagen. Golf GTI (Golf GTI, six-speed - fuel consumption combined, l/100 km: 7.1; CO2 emissions combined in g/km: 161. Golf GTI, seven-speed DSG - fuel consumption combined, l/100 km: 7.0; CO2 emissions combined in g/km: 160; only consumption and emission values according to WLTP and not according to NEDC are available for the vehicle. Fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions data with ranges depending on the selected equipment of the vehicle.) , Scirocco GTi, Polo GTI (Polo GTI, seven-speed DSG - fuel consumption combined, l/100 km: 6.4; CO2 emissions combined in g/km: 146; only consumption and emission values according to WLTP and not according to NEDC are available for the vehicle.

Fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions data with ranges depending on the selected equipment of the vehicle.) . Icons. Volkswagen is now catapulting GTI DNA into the age of electric mobility with the new ID. GTI Concept (ID. GTI Concept - concept car.) . The world premiere of this electrifying concept vehicle will take place during this year’s IAA Mobility in Munich (5 to 9 September 2023) – exactly 48 years after the worldwide debut of the first Golf GTI at the IAA in Frankfurt. The ID. GTI Concept is based on the ID. 2all (ID. 2all - concept car.) presented in March – a future electric compact car that costs around 25,000 euros and which has generated worldwide attention. Its front-wheel drive, clear design and powerful proportions make it the perfect starting point for a new GTI. Volkswagen Head of Design Andreas Mindt already also had the sporty derivative in mind when he produced the first sketches for the ID. 2all. And just like the ID. 2all (ID. 2all - concept car.) , the ID. GTI Concept (ID. GTI Concept - concept car.) is more than just a show car – it is the first glimpse of the exciting GTI future because its series development has already been decided.
