Well-developed harbinger
Like every other Volkswagen ID model, the electric Volkswagen ID7 will also have a sporty top version. With this attention-grabber, called ID.X, Volkswagen looks ahead in a somewhat exaggerated way to such a sporty ID7 GTX.
Volkswagen already announced a GTX version of the ID7 for the IAA, but the brand decided to postpone its unveiling. As a sweetener, Volkswagen showed this ID.GTX during the ID equivalent of the no longer existing GTI Treffen.
Two electric motors for ID7 GTX
Thanks to two electric motors, the ID.GTX is four-wheel drive and has a whopping 558 hp power that broadly gives away what you can expect from an ID7 GTX. In very broad terms. We do not expect that the production version will be as full of extensive spoiler work. After all, neither are the GTX flavors of cars like the ID4. The 558 hp that Volkswagen specifies will probably be more than a figure taken out of thin air. Don’t be surprised if the ID7 GTX – or an even more powerful derivative thereof – has such an amount of electrical horsepower. According to the Germans, there is a limited slip differential on the rear axle.
Wider and lower
Volkswagen has increased the track width of the ID7 for the ID.X by 8 centimeters and a set of sports springs brings the show car 6 centimeters closer to the asphalt than a conventional ID7. The car stands on 20-inch light alloy with a central wheel nut around which rubber in width size 265 is folded. More differences with a normal ID7? Certainly. For example, the rear lights are darker and the interior features bucket seats and an extra 17-inch display.
