Pretty much ever since the folks from Wolfsburg announced there would be a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive variant of the SUV, fans have been wondering whether the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2020\/12\/16\/test-drive-volkswagen-id-3\/\">ID.3<\/a> would get the same go-faster treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Their requests might be answered one day as a company representative has told <em>Auto Express<\/em> an ID.3 GTX is officially being considered. Before you get your hopes up too high, it&#8217;s important to mention a final decision has not been taken it. According to VW&#8217;s board member for sales, marketing, and aftersales, Klaus Zellmer, the engineers are &#8220;looking into it&#8221; and the company as a whole is &#8220;constantly looking at possibilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6390\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Wmg2ovolkswagen-id.4-gtx-2021.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Wmg2ovolkswagen-id.4-gtx-2021.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Wmg2ovolkswagen-id.4-gtx-2021-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Should the ID.3 GTX get the stamp of approval from the higher-ups, it would likely utilize the same hardware as the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/04\/28\/2022-volkswagen-id4-gtx-debut\/\">ID.4 GTX<\/a> unveiled this week. The performance SUV offers 295 horsepower for a 0 to 62 mph (100 km\/h) sprint in 6.2 seconds. The hatchback would likely end up a tad quicker due to a lower curb weight, but it&#8217;s too soon to know for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond a potential GTX-badged hatchback, VW will be expanding the EV performance lineup with the launch of an <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/04\/28\/volkswagen-id5-teaser-photos\/\">ID.5 GTX<\/a> as a coupe-styled alternative to the speedy SUV introduced yesterday. The wraps are coming off before the year&#8217;s end when the German brand will also present a standard rear-wheel-drive, single-motor ID.5. Europe and China will be getting the new SUV first, with other markets to follow in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Without giving any model names, Klaus Zellmer expressed his desire to grow the GTX lineup as the electric counterpart of the gasoline GTI, diesel GTD, and plug-in hybrid GTE models. He believes GTX represents the &#8220;most aspirational derivative in the lineup,&#8221; and we&#8217;d argue a hotter ID.3 is exactly what&#8217;s needed to please hot hatch fans in the EV era.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/volkswagen\/354761\/sporty-volkswagen-gtx-badge-appear-more-electric-id-models\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Auto Express<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot on the heels of the ID.4 GTX&#8217;s reveal, Volkswagen has announced another electric performance model might be added to the company&#8217;s growing EV lineup.
