Hot and cold one-off: Premiere for the ID.3 GTX FIRE+ICE at the ID. Meeting

Volkswagen presents the ID.3 GTX FIRE+ICE at the ID. Meeting in Locarno, Switzerland. Developed in collaboration with BOGNER, the Munich-based luxury sports fashion brand, the car is reminiscent of the legendary Golf Fire and Ice, which became a surprise success in the 1990s and has since achieved cult status among fans. With an exclusive 3-layer paint finish with glass bead effect and numerous details in the interior, the vehicle pays tribute to its predecessor and transfers its design idea into the all-electric modern age.

Leather from industrial hemp: innovative and sustainable material for future car interiors

Volkswagen has entered into a cooperation with the German start-up Revoltech GmbH from Darmstadt. The aim is to research and develop sustainable materials based on industrial hemp. These could be used as a sustainable surface material in Volkswagen models from 2028. The material made from 100% bio-based hemp uses residues of the regional hemp industry. It can be produced on existing industrial plants and recycled or composted at the end of its service life in an automobile. The first presentations of the innovative material have already received a very positive response and feedback from customers.

The sportiest electric Volkswagen to date: Start of pre-sales for the ID.3 GTX Performance

Volkswagen is upping the ante by launching a new, even sportier version of the ID.3 GTX. In addition to the ID.3 GTX, which delivers 210 kW (285 PS), the new ID.3 GTX Performance with 240 kW (326 PS) is now also available to order. This means that the electric compact sports car is equipped with Volkswagen’s most powerful electric drive motor. Both GTX versions effortlessly convert their power into traction on the rear axle. The body and chassis layout offers significant benefits here: with the new 79 kWh battery (net) located in the sandwich floor and precisely in the centre of the vehicle, this design offers a sporty low centre of gravity and ideal axle load distribution for driving dynamics and vehicle handling that guarantees plenty of fun.

For five decades, this Volkswagen bestseller has characterised the streetscape in Europe and many other places around the world – and has relied on pioneering technology from the very beginning. Added to this was its unmistakable shape, which was introduced by Giorgetto Giugiaro in the Golf I and has continued to evolve in all generations. Still today, after more than 37 million delivered models, efficiency, quality, design, technologies and its overall concept are still the most convincing arguments in favour of the Golf and its derivatives.
