Volkswagen hints at an ELECTRIC SPORTS car with 680 HP

Volkswagen has done many over the years, well, decades interesting and exciting studies sports cars. For example W12 Nardo or XL Sports with drive Ducati V2, which we show in our photos. None of them made it into series production, and some may have given up in the meantime, but athlete from Wolfsburg cannot be completely written off yet.

Za powerful stance with the internal combustion engine it is now too late, the only option left is something completely electric. And we're not talking about models here ID.3/4/5 with the inscription GTX, but oh really a genuine sports car. In an otherwise rather lackluster press release, which announced that the development of electric powertrains in the future will take place entirely under its own direction, it was hidden news about the possibility really powerful drive for use in a sports car. In addition to developing their own battery cells and electric motors, is Volkswagen has now also taken over the development of impulse converters and heat management systems.

A decade ago, VW showed a study of the sports car XL Sport, which was not destined to go into series production and therefore also on the roads.

This opens up the possibility of creation modular set, which can be used for conventional electric vehicles and sports cars. VW is already working on this technology and says it will be ready for the next generation electric cars. This should be based on the evolution of today's platform MEB. And in Wolfsburg they add that it could be manufactured sports car emission-free with more than 500 kW power. That is 680 BAM, which would put them in a class Porsche Taycan Turbo. Hallelujah, supporters of this brand would say.

Internally known as MEB Here, is said to be a revamped platform reduced costs development to 20 percent. Nevertheless, we must be realistic, because they have to Wolfsburg solve more important homework before we can start dreaming. In other words, we can expect more space-oriented SUVs, limousine in compact vehicles, before a sports car is added to their portfolio. They need to fix it during this time more sporty GTX models, where versions ID.4 GTX in ID.5 GTX they already exist. She should join them soon ID.Buzz GTX in ID.3 GTX.

They worked with Ducati on the XL Sport, as the VM sports a V2 engine from Ducati.

First a true electric sports car will be available in the Volkswagen Group for years 2025, when it will Porsche put an all-electric one on the road the successor to the 718 Boxter and Cayman models.
