Stare at this wrap too long and you"ll get a migraine. But please stare a bit, because beneath it lurks the car that has to transform Volkswagen into its third era. In the mid-1970s the Beetle company became the Golf company. Now, VW insists that from 2020, it"ll become the number one electric car company, churning them out by the hundreds of thousands. Eventually the millions. The concept car was called the I.D. VW people won"t say if that"s the final name. It doesn"t go on sale for another year, but even so they"re letting Top Gear drive this ridiculously precious prototype. We"re on roads near Cape Town, South Africa, where the car is doing some weeks of hot-weather testing. The morning we arrive, it"s raining.
