VW ID R seeing red in new livery for Tianmen Mountain run in China

The Volkswagen ID R electric race car is already pretty darn accomplished.

Not only did it break the overall record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, the automaker picked up the EV record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife just before that.

The ID R isn't done yet, though, and now its sights are set on China.

VW on Friday unveiled a new livery for the ID R ahead of yet another blast down a wild and twisty road.

This time, the electric race car will head to China's Tianmen Mountain, where it will snake its way up Big Gate Road, which has 99 different hairpin turns as it ascends towards Heaven's Gate.

There's a lot of Chinese symbolism baked into this road, which is why VW gave the ID R a new look for its latest attempt.
