The classic GTI, which was born in 1976, gives people pleasure and practicality in driving at a price close to the people, and is talked about by the world.
The result is naturally a big sale, and there are not a few people who come to challenge, but no matter how you build it, GTI's status in the rivers and lakes is hard to shake.
However, with the advent of the era of electric vehicles, some foreign media believe that "GTI" will fade out of history.
Of course, this is not groundless. According to the reliable information obtained by Autocar from Volkswagen, the performance version of electric vehicles produced by Volkswagen in the future will be named GTX, which continues the traditional naming methods of GTI, GTD and GTE (representing gasoline, diesel and plug-in hybrid respectively), and Volkswagen has also registered a patent for this name.
It is reported that Volkswagen has begun to develop the first GTX——VolkswagenID. 5? GTX is expected to be officially released in the spring of 20021.
Careful viewers should remember that the name GTX has not appeared for the first time. As early as 1988, the second generation Volkswagen Jetta used this name.
But will GTI really be replaced by GTX so easily? Haochejun thinks it's not that easy. After all, the word "GTI" has been deeply branded in the memory of all car fans.
Even if the motor really completely replaces the fuel engine in the future, Volkswagen can still keep the name.
As a result, fans are happy and manufacturers sell more cars. Why not?
Porsche, for example, is very smart. It released the pure electric Taycan, but still retained the "turbo" model.
