Breathtaking nature, fascinating technology: The ID.R’s record drive on Tianmen Mountain on video and in a digital booklet
- Volkswagen #idr holds records on Pikes Peak, Tianmen, in Goodwood and on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife
- The #idr project as a 56-page booklet available for media
- Spectacular impressions: The fascinating record drive on Tianmen on video
The fifth sensational record of the #idr: more than a week ago at Tianmen Mountain (China), #Volkswagen has once again demonstrated its expertise in the field of electro-mobility and in motorsport. With the fully electric powered #idr, the pioneer and ambassador of the brand’s ID product family, #Volkswagen has set records worldwide on unique roads resp. circuits and underlined the performance capabilities of electric drive. A 56-page digital media booklet now summarizes these records and a gripping video clip looks back on the recent trip to China.
The successful story of the #idr began on 24 June 2018, arriving on the scene instantly with a record. At the legendary Pikes Peak (USA), Romain Dumas not only won the famous ‘Race to the Clouds’ with the 500 kW (680 PS) electric four-wheel-drive sports car, but also smashed the all-time record set by a petrol-powered vehicle by a massive 16 seconds. A few weeks later, Dumas undercut the record for electric vehicles at the tradition-steeped Goodwood Festival of Speed (GB) with the #idr. On 3 June 2019, #Volkswagen stepped it up: The electric record on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife (Germany) was beaten comprehensively, and a few days later came the all-time record in Goodwood. Then followed the pioneering achievement of the year: on the Tianmen Mountain Big Gate Road, Romain Dumas set the first official record on the breath-taking road to ‘Heaven’s Gate’ in China with the #idr.Further information in the press release to download
