Volkswagen reveals ID.X Performance concept

Volkswagen has revealed a new ID.X Performance concept, offering us all a glimpse of what an all-electric performance sedan from the brand could look like in the near future.

The new concept is based on the all-electric ID.7 revealed in June 2023, but gets added sporty features including a front splitter and rear spoiler, both made of carbon. Adding to the visual aggression here are tinted taillight clusters.

The Volkswagen ID.X Performance concept gets a massive rear spoiler, 20-inch rims, as well as a carbon diffuser to differentiate it from the ID.7

The car is additionally said to sport a sports suspension with especially stiff springs, alongside a decrease in ride height by 80mm. This altered suspension holds 20-inch alloy wheels, which are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R racing tyres. The car also gets carbon bucket seats in the cabin, alongside a host of red accent pieces.

Those seats will come in handy, as Volkswagen states the ID.X Performance comes with a total of 511bhp, courtesy of a permanently excited synchronous motor on the rear axle and an asynchronous motor on the front axle. The battery suppling power to this drive system is additionally said to be able to charge at a speed of 200kW.
