Volkwagen Golf GTI Special Edition

Volkswagen Group Malaysia has brought in a batch of VW Golf GTIs with some additional equipment and the vintage tartan fabric (Interlagos) upholstery which has the same pattern as that in the very first Golf GTI.

This special edition of the Golf GTI also has larger 18-inch 'Detroit’ alloy wheels (with appropriately larger tyres) , an electric sliding/tilting sunroof; cruise control, electrically-foldable wing mirrors and the multi-function indicator 'Plus’ which gives drivers more options to customize a number of useful functions such as the coming and/or leaving home lights, remote door unlocking and auto lock and/or unlock functions.

The price is similar to that of the current Golf GTI on sale (which has leather upholstery), ie RM198,888 (nett selling price). It will be sold alongside the standard version and available at authorised VW dealers nationwide only while stocks last.

The first Golf GTI was unveiled at the 1975 Frankfurt Motorshow and was intended as a low-volume variant for those who wanted extra performance from the small hatchback. But response was far greater than expected and during the next three decades, the Golf GTI turned into an automotive icon. To date, 1.7 million units have been sold worldwide.
