I.D. R Pikes Peak makes Germany debut at Classic Days
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
From 03 to 05 August the time has come: the #Volkswagen #idrpikespeak will make its debut in Germany at the 13th #classicdays at Schloss Dyck. The Autostadt in Wolfsburg will present Volkswagen’s first all-electric powered #racing car at their “Passion | Pace | Performance” exhibition. With around 40 exhibits, ranging from the 1920s Bugatti to the current #Volkswagen #idrpikespeak, the motorsport brand diversity of the #Volkswagen Group will be presented, focussing on the past, present day and future. The 500 kW (680 PS) #idrpikespeak is the sporting forerunner of the I.D. family, the series of all-electric powered production cars that #Volkswagen will be launching as of 2020.
Not least due to its successes, the #idrpikespeak impressively embodies the present and with its electric drive, the mobility of the future. #Volkswagen has already set two records with the electric #racing constructed in just eight months. At the 2018 #pikespeak International Hill Climb on 24 June, Romain Dumas (F) not only improved on the previous #record for electric #racing cars, but with a time of 7:57.148 minutes also set a new all-time #record at the most famous hill climb in the world. Just three weeks later, the 40-year-old set a new electric #record at the iconic Goodwood Festival of Speed in the #idrpikespeak, of 43.86 seconds – 3.48 seconds faster than the previous #record set in 2013.
Visitors to the 13th #classicdays can look forward to seeing the twin-engine Golf “Pikes Peak” of 1987. The former German rally pro and European champion Jochi Kleint contested the #pikespeak International Hill Climb for #Volkswagen Motorsport in this Golf 31 years ago. At Schloss Dyck, Kleint will line up for #Volkswagen Classic in the 480 kW (652 PS) Golf. In the “Racing Legends”, classic #racing cars relive historic motorsport on a 2.8-kilometre circuit.
The #classicdays originated in 2006, in memory of Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, who was killed in an accident in Monza in 1961. The 13th edition, which is expected to draw a crowd of around 40,000 spectators, is another automobile garden party and motorsport festival with more than 7,000 classic cars and 120 historic #racing cars.
Just 250 days had passed between the announcement of the #pikespeak project on 18 October 2017 and the record-breaking run of the #Volkswagen #idrpikespeak in Colorado. See the development history of the #idrpikespeak in the video.
