Volkswagen showcased its vision of the ID.X Performance in Switzerland recently.
The sports prototype was on show at the ID. Treffen on the Swiss side of Lago Maggiore a few days ago.
The exterior of the all-electric prototype has considerable sporty features with both the front splitter and rear diffuser made of carbon. The engineers have increased the toe by 80 millimetres and lowered the sports suspension with stiffer springs by 60 millimetres. Alongside the drive unit, this makes a significant contribution to performance, further improving the car’s agility.
The vehicle sits on 20-inch sports alloy wheels with a central lock and size 265 racing tyres. At the rear, there’s a carbon wing ensuring the necessary downforce. Tinted tail light clusters further emphasise the sporty appearance.
In the interior, there are carbon bucket seats providing optimum support even for the most dynamic of drivers. Red accents emphasise the sporty characteristics in the interior.
Volkswagen has added the synchronous motor on the rear axle with an additional asynchronous motor on the front axle to create all-wheel drive capability. The advantages of this are a shorter overload capability and particularly low drag losses. As a result, this motor type is ideal for delivering short-term power via a boost function. The drive torque is controlled by a Vehicle Dynamics Manager, which also manages operation of the rear axle differential lock in the ID.X Performance. The function is controlled on a separate display with a 17-centimetre screen in the centre console.
