Volkswagen has announced that its coming back to participate at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and has released the first teaser for the car that it will field.
The dark image shows a silhouette of a purpose-built racer with a curvy design and a possibly a massive rear wing to keep the back of the car down as it ascends all 19.99km of the hill. The accompanying text indicates that VW has registered for the event.
We believe that it will be an electric car as this is the direction that Volkswagen is taking with its entire lineup in the future. It’s expected to have a swanky name but with a slightly understated design- a defining character of the brand even with regard to its motor sport activities.
his isn’t VW’s first attempt at the hill climb as it had entered a twin-engined Golf GTI to participate in the 1987 edition.
