Volkswagen ID. R premieres at the Nurburgring

Volkswagen has presented the continuously developed version of the ID. R, the fully electric race car. The racing flagship of the future fully electric product family from Volkswagen is to set a new lap record for electric vehicles on the 20.832km-long Nordschleife.

In order for driver Romain Dumas to undercut the current best time of six minutes 45.90 seconds, Volkswagen Motorsport has consistently and continuously developed the ID. R.

Now, the ID. R will complete its first test on the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Virtually speaking, the ID. R will already drive its first laps from today - for the first time, a race car will also be presented at the same time in a near-reality computer simulation that can be downloaded free of charge.
