Swiss see ID performance concept


This is Volkswagen's ID.X Performance concept which was revealed at Locarno in Switzerland last Friday at a gathering of VW electric car owners, writes Brian Byrne.

It is based on the ID.7 due in Ireland shortly and which will be the largest EV to date from VW.

As a concept designed to show a large hot hatch possibility, the ID.X Performance has dual electric motors outputting up to 551hp and energised by an 86kWh battery.

It also features lowered suspension and aerodynamic body elements geared to keeping the car tight to the road in high speed driving.
