Volkswagen has unveiled the ID.3 GTI, an electric hot hatch that both sources describe as the most powerful GTI in the nameplate's roughly 50-year history. Electrek notes that it delivers more power than the current Golf GTI, while CleanTechnica specifies the output at 240 kW (326 PS). The two reports agree on the headline performance figures: 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and 545 Nm of torque.
Both sources also highlight a suite of GTI-specific driving technologies, including an adaptive DCC sports chassis, direct progressive steering, Launch Control, and a new GTI mode. The sources differ slightly in emphasis: Electrek frames the car primarily as a more powerful alternative to the Golf GTI, while CleanTechnica focuses on the world-premiere event and the model's place in GTI heritage. Neither source provides pricing or availability details.
