Essen Motor Show




Volkswagen is presenting three particularly emotional cars at the Essen Motor Show: for example, visitors to the largest annual automobile trade fair in Germany can check out the ID. R – the fully-electric car that holds the record for the legendary Pikes Peak Hill Climb.




A world champion will also be on display: the 570-hp Polo R Supercar, with which Johan Kristoffersson (S) won the Drivers’ title in the FIA World Rallycross Championship (WRX) and the Team title together with Petter Solberg (N) in 2017 and 2018.




Many eyes will also be on the Volkswagen Golf R Performance – at stand 3A43 in Hall 3.




Volkswagen is also offering visitors plenty of opportunity to interact – including on Rallycross driving simulators.
