“GTX as an idea is en route for EVs,” he said, adding it would be “crazy” to let the existing GTI and R designations to “die and slip away” amid the transition.It is possible that the brand may show a concept car with the new badge in the near future as a statement of intent for the performance brand’s reboot.

Such a car would be likely to retain the familiar front-engine, front-wheel-drive powertrain with a single electric motor. On GTI, Schäfer said: “GTI with Golf was always legendary. We will carry on. We need substance to it, with performance. We’re working on a performance model with EV to carry GTI forward.”
