After the ID Xtreme unveiled last week, a new unique electric sports car comes from Volkswagen, the ID.5 GTX Xcite. The car was developed over a period of one year, and 14 students worked on it. It is based on the electric SUV ID.5.

The body of the car is made of carbon and is painted in a special matte green color that adorns Volkswagen and Lamborghini cars. It is equipped with wider sills, modified wheel arches, redesigned front and rear fenders, adjustable suspension, a set of 22-inch alloy wheels, which complete the aggressive look of the car.

Inside, the sports seats are upholstered in a combination of Alcantara and vegan leather with orange stitching. Alcantara covers the dashboard, door panels and steering wheel, as well as the ceiling. For good entertainment there is an improved sound system with 10 speakers of 2,000W. Each car comes with an electric skateboard located in the luggage compartment.

When it comes to the powertrain, the ID.5 GTX Xcite will be powered by two electric motors with a total power of 300 hp (221 kW) and will have all-wheel drive. The performance of the car is still unknown. As a reminder, the VW ID.5 is powered by a single electric motor with 201 hp (150 kW) and 228 lb-ft (310 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 8.4 seconds with a top speed of 99 mph (160 kph). It’s rear-wheel drive and has a range of 323 miles (520 km) thanks to a 77kWh battery.
