[TheNuvolari]

Power: 680 hp (600kW / 680 PS)
Torque: 480 lb-ft (650 Nm)
Weight: 2425 lbs/ < 1100 kg
0-60 Mph: 2.25 seconds

This car would be suitable for Gr.1 or - if it comes - Pikes Peak, of course!

Sorry, don't really know everthing else about this, if you know simething about this car, I would appreciate your help.

Volkswagen’s goal is to reach the pinnacle of electromobility with the I.D. family. As such, Volkswagen’s involvement on Pikes Peak not only sets the trend for our future in motorsport, but is also of great symbolic significance in the truest sense,” said Volkswagen R&D chief Dr. Frank Welsch. “Customers have always benefitted from the findings made in motorsport, and we expect to take these findings and use them as a valuable impetus for the development of future I.D. models. The hill climb on Pikes Peak will definitely be a real acid test for the electric drive.”

We don't know much else, other than it's powered by two electric motors (one for each axle) and than it's definitely going to have a "Gran Turismo" banner on its windshield in June. By the way, here's a brief video of the roll out in Ales (France).

This would be a lot of fun to take up against prototypes. It certainly looks the part of a Group C.

Put this in GTS please. Wish it wasn’t electric though only because of the noise the look makes me hear an engine sound like LMP1 or Loeb’s Pikes peak.

It does and, with the rear wheels covered, it reminds me of the TS010.

Certainly one of the coolest purpose-built PP racer ever created.

Edit: Fixed link.
