on November 30, 2019 to December 8 held in 2019 Essen Motor Show in Germany modified, modified community belong to the European event, gathering all kinds of modified cars or modified parts. But Volkswagen factory but also modified through this exhibition, bringing ID.R pure electric car’s own ID family and ID.3, so as to let the fans understand, one born for the event and discount ID.R City sale ID.3, in fact, there are quite a lot in common, which means in fact ID.3 handling performance have higher limits may not just a pure electric hatchback.
whether ID.R prototype racing or ID.3 hatchback, in fact, in the same MEB modular architecture platform, and even one is the pursuit of speed racing, a pursuit of endurance and meet daily hatchback, but VW said Volkswagen Motorsport is in fact research ID.R time with the family R & D department ID discuss related technology, so the two the car design platform in the position of the battery, have brought similar low center of gravity, as well as rapid charging and kinetic energy recharge systems are very similar.
Also like the mechanical design of the air, comprising ID.3 20-inch wheels, which in fact the aerodynamic ID.R not much difference, the electric car can be provided to facilitate better wind resistance performance.
VW’s chief designer Frank Welsch mentioned, the entire development ID.R helped each other racing department and the general department of technology transfer, which were mainly related to technology, such as lightweight design, high efficiency air mechanics. Also relevant as a battery system, comprising charging with energy recovery, in an electric vehicle or a passenger, whether the car to be quite.
Therefore, whether electric cars need modification? To ID.3 for many design concepts it has been taken from the car, so performance may already handling performance superior to many hatchback.
