Volkswagen has confirmed its ID.3 hatchback will get a range-topping ‘GTX’ version to serve as the all-electric sibling to the Golf GTI.
Pencilled in to arrive later this year, two versions will be offered from launch. Things will be headlined by the GTX ‘Performance’ - and while very few details are known at this point aside from a rear-wheel drive layout, rumours are currently swirling around a 300hp output. That would put it on par with the Golf GTI Clubsport 45.
The ID.3 GTX will boast some pretty noticeable styling changes over the standard car too, including distinctive light signatures, more aggressive diffusers and model-specific 20-inch 'Skagen' alloys. Oh, you also get a healthy serving of 'the fast one' badges to go with the more sculpted bodywork.Equally, the interior will adopt a set of leather sports seats while decorative red stitching - a hallmark of hot VW models in the past - will run throughout the cabin.
