Volkswagen is set to make a significant impact in the world of electric vehicles with a series of performance-focused offerings. Recently, we got a glimpse of the ID. GTI concept in Munich, and it's no secret that both the ID. Buzz and ID.3 models are in line for performance enhancements, courtesy of VW's new GTX badge.
Now, Volkswagen is taking its commitment to performance a step further with the introduction of a dedicated concept car known as the ID.X Performance. Built upon the foundation of the ID.7 sedan, the ID.X Performance stands out dramatically from its regular counterpart in terms of visual appeal.
At the front, a bold transformation takes place, featuring a sizable black grille positioned at the base of the bumper, complemented by matching vents at each corner. Notably, a carbon fiber diffuser and a distinctive GTI-style red trim encompass the entire vehicle. Robust black plastic cladding adorns the wheel wells, housing a set of 20-inch sport alloys equipped with specialized racing tires.

Moving to the rear, an imposing rear spoiler crowns the trunk lid, while a substantial carbon fiber diffuser resides at the lower portion of the bumper. The striking red accent from the front and sides of the car extends to the rear as well. Importantly, the ID.X Performance sits 2.4 inches (60 millimeters) lower than the standard ID.7, emphasizing its sporty stance.
In terms of performance, the ID.X concept relies on the versatile MEB architecture, which serves as the foundation for most of Volkswagen's modern EVs. Two electric motors work in unison, delivering an impressive total output of 550 horsepower (411 kilowatts). Similar to the ID.7, the ID.X Performance concept boasts a DC fast charging capability of 200 kilowatts.
It's worth noting that while this concept is generating significant buzz, there's no official confirmation regarding its potential production. However, Volkswagen has already affirmed its intentions to introduce a more potent ID.7 GTX variant, featuring aggressive design elements, improved aerodynamics, and, hopefully, increased power.
