Volkswagen has for years to sprinkle the electronic version of his dear GTI performance limit. The younger ID.GTI concept from 2023 gave us the first real taste of the performance EV, while the company recently announced the ID.3 GTI for Europe next year. Electric Golf GTI is also on this document, and new details are even more excited for us for the coming electric hot hatch.
In an interview with Auto ExpressThe new golf will be here before the end of the decade – and it will be a “monster,” said Thomas Sheffer, CEO of Volkswagen, said.

“At the end of the decade, we will bring an electric golf (GTI), and it will be a monster.” “I am very happy with this progress. It’s good. You can make it interesting, it has to be interesting, it has to be authentic. If we bring GTI, it must be a GTI.”
But that’s not all. Sheffer also confirmed the arrival of the Golf REV, which was previously rumored but never confirmed it. Although the Electric Golf will choose the All Wheel Drive Setup, the Electric Golf GTI will maintain its signature front wheel drive configuration, which strengthens the front axis specifically to the electric motors.
Both Electric GTI and Golf R models will be riding on the new Scale System Platform (SSP) of the Volkswagen Group. The SSP will be used in the VW Group Portfolio, from Skoda to Lamburgeni, from Volkswagen to the entire VW group portfolio. This expanding platform can be broken in terms of vehicle size and cost, and a technology is used about “mind -blowing”.

He says, “We have run some prototypes on the new setup, and it’s a blowing mind.” “What will happen to the sound? What will happen to the whole feeling, the handling, etc.? This can be done.”
Electric golf GTI will not show up for five more years, but after that the electric golf will not arrive. The first EV ID.2 will be based in VW GTI Portfolio and especially in Europe. Basically, a production version of the ID.GTI concept we saw two years ago. In the meantime, ID.3 GTI will show up in Europe next year.
