The VW bit you know. I.D." of course, represents Volkswagen"s new generation of electric cars. R" = fast. Add it all together and you"re looking at the very interesting end of a 670bhp, pared back electric nutjob built to scale a very scary mountain. Quickly. This is the deep breath Volkswagen I.D. R Pikes Peak. It is a lightweight electric prototype built to race at aforementioned scary mountain with the sole aim of smashing the current electric car record. So that"s a target of less than 8m 57.118s. It"s certainly got the go to match the considerable show (just look at it). Underneath sit a pair of electric engines powered by lithium-ion batteries, the latter focused on sheer, outright power rather than range. There"s a permanent four-wheel-drive setup with active torque distribution too, so it should be nice and grippy. Gonna need to be.
