VW Golf 1 GTI

At the IAA 1975, VW presented a vehicle that was initially developed without the knowledge of the Board of Management.
This sporty offshoot of the Golf 1 offered the characteristics that characterise a true sports car: a low kerb weight paired with a powerful engine.
Available from 1976, the incredibly fast GTI revolutionised the car world.
There was now an affordable sports car for everyone that was suitable for everyday use and could easily keep up with the expensive competition.
The 110 hp GTI truly democratised the sports car sector.
Wheel arch extensions, wider wheels, the large front spoiler and a red border around the front grille characterise the compact sports car, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.2 seconds and very quickly becomes an icon.
