Volkswagen is working on an electric race car for Pikes Peak. Wow. Look at the era we are in now. The press release can be read here.
I don’t know about you guys, but this is kind of cool (the image gives me a Tron vibe). Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb has had some cool cars come out of it. Electric race cars and motorcycles have progressed in leaps and bounds in the past 10, heck the past 5 years alone. We now have Formula E, The Isle of Man TT (The TT Zero portion), and some awesome things happening with Pike's Peak. I would love to attend one of these races. I don’t know how the drivers do it at speed, I once went up when I was younger, and it was scary at slow speeds.
I also feel like this is Volkswagen trying to get some good press their way, you know, after the entire Diesel Gate saga. I am ecstatic at the thought of seeing how this does next year and I can’t wait to watch it. As soon as I can get more information on this car, I will update you further. Here is to Volkswagen leading the way!
