Look at it. It"s RED. Volkswagen has announced it wants to set a new record with its blackout-inducing, mad ID R electric racecar. Oh, blackout-inducing you say? The ID R made our Motoring Editor Ollie Marriage literally black out for a few moments while driving it. True story. Anyway, mostly it"s now become quite RED. The record attempt will occur in China, hence the RED. See, in China, red denotes good luck and happiness. It"s a surprise Ferrari didn"t make it big over there years ago. VW"s going to run the ID R at the Tianmen Shan Big Gate Road - a terrifying ascent featuring 99 hairpins. With all that power and g-force available it"ll likely be a different colour inside the cockpit, too.
