Speaking with Top Gear magazine, VW's Board Member for Technical Development Kai Grünitz says a "sporty version" is already in the works with front-wheel drive.

He went on to say Volkswagen haven't made up their mind about whether it'll be badged as a GTI or GTX. “Whether it will be a GTI or GTX or whatever we will see,” says Grünitz.

Given that the standard ID.2all concept claims 223bhp and a 0-62mph time of 6.9 seconds – meaning it’s more powerful and quicker to accelerate than a Mk5 Golf GTI – it’s safe to assume that an ID.2 GTI/GTX should be quicker than this, unless the production model will end up toned down for release to optimise mileage.
