00:00 How good is this? This is the Volkswagen ID GTI concept.
00:04 So GTI means front-wheel drive, this is fully electric.
00:08 We don't know exact size yet but it appears to be between a Polo and a Golf in terms of size.
00:13 Have a look at all the red highlights here and this is basically signaling a new design
00:17 philosophy for Volkswagen as well.
00:19 What they're saying is that each of the brands will actually design the cars in conjunction
00:24 with the brand's CEO.
00:25 So they're going to have a little bit more uniqueness when it comes to the way that they
00:28 look.
00:29 You can see here with those LEDs running along the front there, the red tow hooks down the
00:33 bottom.
00:34 Look at these big wheels as well on the side here, they've kind of tried to mimic the stainless
00:38 steel setup that was originally on the GTI.
00:42 GTI badge down the side there, some slim mirrors too.
00:46 And then come to the back with me.
00:51 So the LED lights aren't on at the moment but we saw before when the graphic was running,
00:56 they're actually squares.
00:57 So that actually looks incredible once it's all lit up.
01:00 Have a look at this diffuser section down the bottom.
01:02 So keeping in mind it is full electric, there is no exhaust or anything like that but I
01:06 think it actually looks seriously cool and the fact that this will be electric and front
01:10 wheel drive means that they're trying to reinvent the hot hatch.
01:12 How that's going to go, I don't know because a lot of electric cars that are performance
01:16 cars are either all wheel drive or rear wheel drive but the jury is out so we'll see what
01:20 happens.
01:21 We don't really have any details just yet.
01:23 This is just a concept car at this stage.
01:25 It's called the ID.GTI and I'll give you some more information when we finally get our hands
