A couple of years ago, when we first heard about Volkswagen"s MEB electric platform, we were informed it would cover "cars bigger and smaller than the Golf". Turns out, it will also cover banshee racing cars, too. This is our first proper look following a shady teaser late last year of Volkswagen"s brand new I.D. R prototype. It is a car with two specific aims in mind: one, to smash the Pikes Peak electric car record. We"ll come to the second shortly. "It is about time we settled the score," explains Volkswagen"s motorsport boss Sven Smeets. Game, and indeed, on.
