Volkswagen has revealed the specifications and photos of the all-electric 'ID.3 GTI', its most powerful model in brand history, to mark the 50th anniversary of the GTI's debut. The ID.3 GTI delivers a maximum output of 240 kW (326 PS) and a peak torque of 545 Nm via an electric motor mounted on the rear axle. Pre-sales for the vehicle are scheduled to begin in early 2027.
Acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h takes 5.6 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 200 km/h. The installed lithium-ion battery has a net capacity of 79 kWh and offers a maximum range of up to 601 km (preliminary figure) on a single charge. Using DC fast-charging capabilities, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 29 minutes.
To support driving performance, adaptive DCC Sports Chassis, progressive steering, launch control, and a dedicated 'GTI Mode' are included as standard features. Activating the GTI button on the steering wheel sets drive and chassis parameters to maximum sportiness, accompanied by a digital cockpit screen transition that simulates internal combustion engine sound.
The exterior design continues the legacy of the first-generation Golf GTI with a front red stripe, 20-inch 'Wörthersee' alloy wheels, and Tornado Red paint. Inside, premium sports seats reinterpret the tartan check pattern, and a sports steering wheel features red stitching.
