After conquering Pikes Peak, Volkswagen is now sending its electric winner to China in hopes of setting a new hillclimb record.
“Heaven’s Gate” is 6.8 miles of steep, winding, two-lane starting at just 650 feet above sea level and ending more than 3,600 feet higher.
The all-electric ID.R was built specifically for such races. Jalopnik reports the car is a “streamlined downforce monster” that is “ready to rip up almost any track or hillclimb known to man.”
The auto company is reportedly also going to take on the Nurburgring record.
