The GTI badge now comes as a sticker you apply yourself, like a participation trophy for a car that never met the Golf.
The most powerful VW GTI ever isn't a Golf — it's the electric ID.3 GTI
Volkswagen has applied the GTI badge to its electric ID.3, making it the most powerful GTI ever built — and the first that isn't a Golf. The move marks VW's push to carry its performance heritage into the EV era, even as the petrol-powered Golf GTI remains on sale. Enthusiasts are split: some see a natural evolution, others see a badge cynically stapled to a different car to sell it.
