According to Grunitz, Volkswagen’s first electric GTI will be “a real go kart” to drive. He’s already driven a prototype, claiming, “It’s really amazing.”

You can see the concept pulls design features from VW’s classic GTI models. However, the company promises new tech will enable even more control and handling for that “go kart” like feel.

Thanks!

the letter “I” for injection in the GTI name now also stands for intelligence

Saved you a click.

Marketing people make up the stupidest shit. "Grand Turismo Intelligence".

Why not just say "I" stands for current. It's literally the symbol for that. So it'd be Grand Turismo, but electric.

Ooh yeah, that would have been way classier.
