This time, it is coming not from Plymouth but from VW.
VW’s GTX is an EV called the ID.4 GTX and the company says more sportier, faster versions of its upcoming EVs will wear the GTX badge.
Remember the Plymouth GTX? It was a line of Belvedere-based sporty coupes and convertibles Plymouth made from 1967 to about ’74. GTXs had blacked-out grilles, hood scoops, pop out chrome gas caps, and a center-console mounted tach. The more important stuff was under the hood. Plymouth’s 440 cubic-inch V8 (375 hp) was standard and the mighty 426 Hemi (425 hp) was optional. GTXs were not posers. Now the GTX badge is being revived on another performance car. This one is from VW, is an EV, and is called the ID.4 GTX. VW says its sportier, faster versions of its upcoming EVs will be badged “GTX,” starting with the all-wheel-drive ID.4 GTX, with a second motor on the front axle.
