Eight months ago, the Volkswagen Design team took on the multifaceted challenge of designing a highly emotional, yet perfectly functional race car for the most famous hill climb in the world.

The design development for the racing car participating in the “Unlimited” category started in October 2017 with the proverbial blank sheet of paper. In the initial briefing, Bischoff and his colleagues didn’t get much info from the engineers other than the desired length, width and height of the chassis of the I.D. R Pikes Peak.
