ID.3 with 326 hp (GTI): makes sense?

The ID.3 with 326 hp, in the GTI version: one might wonder if electric cars of this size with such power outputs make sense. According to Volkswagen, they do.

This version of the VW model will arrive in spring. It features an electric drive system with 240 kW (326 HP) of power, achieving 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, along with 545 Nm of torque. It comes equipped with a refined DCC sport suspension, along with an impressive range of up to 601 km. Some argue that such powerful versions make sense only with traditional engines, but Volkswagen disagrees. The company has launched what it calls the “most powerful GTI version ever” based on the ID.3, with a top speed of 200 km/h (electronically limited). It includes Launch Control and a refined electronically adjustable sport suspension. The front end has been redesigned, featuring 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels, while the interior has been redesigned with an intuitive cockpit and ergonomic sport seats.

But how is the ID.Polo GTI driven? “As soon as the driver presses the integrated and illuminated GTI button located at 6 o’clock on the new multi-functional sports steering wheel, it activates a new driving profile,” explains Volkswagen. “It’s the GTI Mode, which in the ID.3 GTI is added to the Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Individual profiles. The GTI Mode is the secret ingredient behind the driving dynamics of this electric Volkswagen vehicle. With just one click, all traction and suspension parameters are set to maximum sportiness—the power delivery of the electric motor, the particularly linear and thus natural acceleration curve in the ID.3 GTI, the progressive steering, and the adaptive DCC suspension adjustment.”
