Hot variant of Volkswagen ID 2 is already confirmed for production in 2027

It brings a black roof and mirrors, red interior detailing, black 19in wheels, and the option of bespoke Graphite Grey metallic paint. It also comes with the Dynamic Chassis Control handling package as standard. The 380 is otherwise mechanically unchanged compared with the standard GTI.“Not a lot of time, only three months. But we had done the ID 2 with the GTI in the back of our minds. We thought of that as a sporty hatchback design, so creating this was easy. The base was already very good.

What made GTI an icon? What can we put on it? ID 2 matched really well to GTI; it’s stable, likeable and has the secret source, the three things we identified in our design to make us a ‘loved brand’ again. We made it friendly and approachable and that’s a serious power. It’s not overly aggressive. In a Golf GTI, you never feel embarrassed. In some hot hatches, you do feel embarrassed in certain situations. This is ‘unpimp’ my ride, not a boy racer car.
