5 statements by Julius Seebach about the prototype of the Audi e-tron GT
Julius Seebach, Managing Director of the Audi Sport GmbH, talks about the prototype of the Audi e-tron GT in these five statements.
Clear the stage for the first Volkswagen model with the GTX label: This abbreviation stands for a new sportiness at Volkswagen that will continue the tradition of the successful GTI, GTD and GTE models. The ID.4 GTX is thus the new top model in the all-electric ID.4 model series. Its two electric motors - one each on the rear and front axles - together deliver 220 kW (299 hp) of maximum power03 and work together as an electric dual-motor all-wheel drive system. This technology offers high driving stability and large power reserves - in short: more driving pleasure. The compact ID.4 GTX will be launched on European markets in summer 2021. In Germany, its base price is 50,415 euros, on which the customer can apply for a 7,500 euro subsidy (net). The abbreviation GTX denotes the sporty top model of the respective ID. model series. Similar to GTI, GTE and GTD, it stands for its own product brand - it charges the world of electric mobility from Volkswagen with new, modern sportiness. The letters GT have long signaled driving pleasure, and now the X bridges the gap to the mobility of the future: sustainability and sportiness are not mutually exclusive, but complement each other perfectly. After the ID.4 GTX, further models with the new abbreviation will follow.

The MC20 super sports car, now also a spyder: Maserati presents MC20 Cielo, a one-of-a-kind car that can deliver the performance of a true super sports car, together with a holistic and immersive driving pleasure the like of which has never been seen before. MC20 Cielo announces its special features in its very name: MC stands for Maserati Corse (‘Racing’); 20 refers to 2020, the year that began the brand’s new era; Cielo (‘sky’) highlights the fact that it is a model devoted to driving pleasure in the great outdoors, while maintaining all the prerogatives of the coupé. Equipped with the revolutionary V6 Nettuno engine, the Cielo offers a perfect mix of sportiness and luxury, courtesy of a specification unique to the segment: the innovative retractable glass roof. In actual fact, the new spyder acts a meeting point between Maserati audacity and the infinite sky, featuring a special “sky feeling”. The model is equipped with a state-of-the-art electrochromic (smart glass) window that can instantly be transformed from clear to opaque at the touch of a button on the central screen, courtesy of Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology. The roof is also best-in-class in terms of thermal insulation and of opening and closing speed (just 12 seconds). Courtesy of this epitome of technology, MC20 Cielo provides a multi-sensory driving experience: all-encompassing with the roof closed and opaque; unique for the in-cabin brightness when the roof is transparent; holistic with the top down.
