VW Jetta sets speed record at Bonneville

Back in June, the fast Volkswagen everybody was talking about was the I.D. Pikes Peak electric racer, as Romain Dumas set a new record time on the famed mountain course using the 680-horsepower beast. The THR Manufacturing-built Jetta was aimed at the BGC/C class record, which meant it had to top the speed of 208.472 mph. Today, VW announced that the Jetta is the new record holder, with a speed of 210.16 mph, or 338,15 km/h.
