Volkswagen is making a daring leap into the world of high-performance electric vehicles with its latest concept automobile, aptly named the ID.X Performance. Constructing upon the ID.7 sedan platform, the ID.X Performance is a visible departure from its more extraordinary counterpart, embracing a decidedly aggressive aesthetic.
Up front, the ID.X Performance showcases a dramatic transformation, featuring a distinguished black grille on the bumper’s base, flanked by matching vents on either side. The vehicle also boasts a carbon fiber diffuser and crowd pleasing red accents harking back to VW’s sporty GTI models, adorning all the body. Chunky black plastic envelops the wheel wells, housing impressive 20-inch sport alloy wheels wrapped in specialized racing rubber.
Moving to the rear, an enormous rear spoiler perches atop the trunk lid, enhancing aerodynamics and contributing to the automobile’s sporty appearance. One other carbon fiber diffuser graces the lower rear bumper, accompanied by the identical striking red trim that accentuates the front and sides. Notably, the ID.X Performance concept sits 2.4 inches (60 millimeters) lower than the traditional ID.7, further emphasizing its performance-oriented stance.
Underneath the hood, the ID.X concept relies on Volkswagen’s versatile MEB architecture, a foundation shared with many of the company’s modern electric vehicles. Powering the ID.X Performance are two electric motors, delivering a formidable combined output of 550 horsepower (411 kilowatts). Moreover, like its ID.7 counterpart, the concept boasts a fast-charging capability, allowing for a fast recharge with a capability of 200 kilowatts.
While there’s no official confirmation regarding the production prospects of the ID.X Performance concept, Volkswagen has tantalizingly hinted at a stronger variant of the ID.7 GTX. This forthcoming model guarantees to supply much more aggressive styling elements, improved aerodynamics, and potentially increased power, ensuring an exciting future for VW’s performance EV lineup.
Within the meantime, enthusiasts and onlookers can catch a glimpse of the ID.X Performance concept on the international ID. Treffen show, held in Locarno, Switzerland, until September 9. This showcase provides a tantalizing preview of Volkswagen’s commitment to the longer term of high-performance electric sedans, hinting at what might be an exhilarating and electrifying driving experience within the years to come back.
