VW upping power of ID.3 GTX


Volkswagen have announced an even more powerful version of their GTX variant of the ID.3 electric hatchback, the 326hp GTX Performance, writes Brian Byrne.  It's the first of what will be a powertrain Performance drive system that will be rolled out in other models.

The car has a 5.7s sprint to 100km/h potential, with a new 79kWh battery that provides a range claim of up to 601km.

A adaptive chassis control will be available as an option to an already upgraded suspension, and the ID.3 GTX Performance will also have specific exterior style elements and interior details.

Irish price and availability in due course.
