With regard to technology and performance potential, the ID. R is the spearhead of electro-mobility 'made by Volkswagen' and represents the electro-mobility offensive from Volkswagen, which launches with the world premiere of the first models from the ID. product family. In implementing this strategy, electric vehicles are to be made desirable for as many people as possible. The Volkswagen brand will bring more than 20 fully electric models to the market by 2025.

Just last year, the ID. R wrote history at Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. For the first time in the history of the tradition-steeped hill-climb, an electric race car set the absolute track record. Now, the ID. R, developed by Volkswagen Motorsport, is awaiting new challenges - on no-less legendary tracks in Europe (Nürburgring) and Asia ('China Challenge' at Tianmen Mountain).

In the 56-page booklet, the evolved version of the Pikes Peak record-vehicle and these ambitious plans are presented in detail.
