With a 0 to 60mph time of only 2.25 seconds, VW has set their sights on beating the hillclimb record with its new 670bhp I.D.R Pikes Peak

Volkswagen has disclosed and finished the initial trial of its all-electric I.D.R Pikes Peak, created to go up against the popular American Hillclimb on June 24.

The 4×4 drive model joins the I.D. range, saved for Volkswagen’s electric makes – including the Buzz and Vizzion.

The vehicle weighs just under 1150kg and produces a whopping 670bhp and 479 lb-ft of torque from just two electric engines, giving it a 0-60 time of 2.25 seconds – quicker than both Formula 1 and Formula E.

the marque is planning to smash the electric model class record set in 2016 by Rhys Millen. He finished the 20km course in 8 minutes 57.118 seconds while running with 1600bhp.

It is assessed that, through the span of the highway’s 1500m height increment, ignition motors lose up to a large portion of their energy as the air turns out to be less thick. That has prompted the expanded competitivity of electric vehicles as of late.

Volkswagen Pikes Peak

the marque’s Polo make as of now contends in the World Rallycross Championship. The series intends to go electric from 2020 and Volkswagen has stated that the I.D.R Pikes Peak is an antecedent for an arrival to motorsport with EV innovation

By 2025, Volkswagen hopes to offer more than 20 full-electric autos and this has likewise been propelled as the initial move towards better coordinating the R and Motorsport programs.

VW Motorsport executive, Sven Smeets stated: ‘It is about time we settled the score. The I.D.R Pikes Peak represents an extremely exciting challenge for us, to show what is possible with an electric engine in motorsport. The entire team behind our driver Romain Dumas is highly motivated to set a new record for electric cars.’
