Volkswagen is developing its first fully electric Golf GTI, which CEO Thomas Schäfer describes as a 'monster car'.
The electric Golf GTI will be introduced at the end of the decade on VW Group's new SSP platform, maintaining the GTI's authentic and exciting nature.
The power of the electric Golf GTI will remain at the front axle, while an electric Golf R with all-wheel drive is also on the roadmap.
The new GTI's features like simulated gearshifts, artificial engine noise, and drift mode remain undisclosed, but the focus is on offering a balance of comfort and agility in the suspension setup.
