VW’s Hottest Electric GTI Will Have Fake Gears

• The ID. Polo GTI will get simulated engine sound, but pretend shifts may be saved for the hotter Clubsport.
• The Clubsport could separate itself with more power, extra torque, and a lower, stiffer chassis.
• VW could use fake gears, sound, and retro displays to make the ID. Polo GTI feel more like a classic GTI.

Volkswagen will give its upcoming GTI-badged ID. Polo hot hatch has a simulated engine acceleration sound but no pretend gears. However, while fake shifting won’t be available on the standard GTI model, it could feature on a hotter Clubsport variant.
