GTI silhouette and rear end. The side view of the ID.3 GTI is characterised by the new 20-inch alloy wheels fitted as standard. The name says it all: Wörthersee. This can be interpreted as a tribute to the legendary GTI meet in Austria. Other GTI features in the silhouette include the exterior mirror caps and side members painted in high-gloss black. In the side view, it is striking how much longer and sleeker the ID.3 GTI appears compared with the prior model, the ID.3 GTX. The look here is changed by a new colour philosophy: while the predecessor always had a black roof, a black roof spoiler and a black boot lid, these areas are now finished in the vehicle colour on the GTI. As a result, the roof section has a longer and sportier appearance and the ID.3 GTI has significantly more presence on the road.
GTI colours. The classic colours of all GTIs include Silver, Black, Red and White. This range will also be available for the new ID.3 GTI. The colour scheme is supplemented by a grey shade. The five colours are Tornado Red, Moonstone Grey, Scale Silver metallic, Grenadilla Black metallic and Glacier White metallic. The colour Tornado Red with the colour code LY3D has a fascinating history: it was already offered for the facelifted version of the first-generation Golf GTI and is considered to be ‘the’ quintessential GTI colour.
GTI insignia. The ID.3 GTI is characterised by a highly individualised interior. These custom GTI elements can be seen in the equipment features, seat designs and technical details. Red on black is the dominant colour scheme. In the dash panel, a fine red stripe as the GTI hallmark extends across the entire width. A red 12 o’clock marking on the new multifunction sports steering wheel signals that the ID.3 GTI is one of the sportiest electric vehicles in its class. This red can also be found in the premium sport seats, whose GTI pattern provides a new interpretation of the tartan check pattern of the first Golf GTI seats in 1976.
