Well, that didn't take long. Shortly after introducing the ID. GTI Concept at the 2023 IAA Mobility in Munich, Volkswagen has announced a production version is already planned. CEO Thomas Schäfer told Autocar and Top Gear a road-going model will debut in 2026 before going on sale at the beginning of 2027. Since the electric hot hatch is still years away, there's not much in the way of technical specifications but at least we know it's coming.
