35 years of the Golf GTI: Volkswagen celebrates with anniversary model

• Even more driving fun: Power increased to 235 PS

• Advance sales begin: Special model starts at 30,425 euros

Wolfsburg, 10 May 2011 – The 35th anniversary of the Golf GTI was an impetus for Volkswagen to create a very special type of anniversary model. In Germany, from May 12th orders are taken for the anniversary model offered under the “Edition 35” label.

Since the debut of the first Golf GTI in 1976, this sporty Volkswagen has enjoyed an uninterrupted history of success spanning 35 years. The GTI has long become a car with cult appeal as well as an independent brand. Milestone GTI anniversaries have always been celebrated with exclusive special models. Volkswagen now continues in this tradition with the Golf GTI Edition 35: its coherent design approach combines classic GTI elements with features specially created for the Edition 35. Not only does the front bumper glisten in a new design; the car’s exterior and interior showcase the special model’s exclusivity as well. The “35″ signature appears on the wing panels, door sill plates, head restraints and centre seat panel. The highly equipped concept, with its love for details, is also crowned by a high-end metal key ring in action styling. Along with customised features, the special model also promises more driving fun with power increased from 210 to 235 PS compared to the production model.

The Golf GTI Edition 35 celebrates its world debut at the legendary GTI Meet at Wörthersee to be held from June 1st to 4th. Volkswagen will also be showing other well-known GTI anniversary models at this event, such as the Edition 20 and Edition 30. The anniversary model is available at a base price of 30,425 euros; it is a car that will appeal to both established GTI customers and interested prospective buyers. Its market launch in Germany begins in mid-June.

Why did they stop at 170 kW? They should have gone all the way to 200 kW! I guess APR could help them out if they couldn't figure it out Other than that, a nice special edition GTI.

wish those seats were an option for my GTI

Drive review via The Age - if you pay close attention you can see a slightly redesigned lower lip, this looks to me like the only change to the body asides from the side skirts and the new wheels. This review also confirms availability for Australia.

Volkswagen says happy 35th birthday to its ever-popular hot-hatch with a more powerful special edition ... more details at the following link:

No details of price or numbers, but with a more powerful engine and nice looking visual modifications, is sure to be a winner!

Hmmm did we time this badly? Is it worth a last minute cancellation? Will we get all the desired options on a special edition model? Would we be able to tweak and add more on?

Hmmmm.....

Thoughts on how they have revved up the power to KW? i reckon ECU and intake?

If those wheels were optional on the standard MK6 GTI I would have ticked the box for them straight away. Also I wonder if the Aus version will get the push start ignition.

Has anyone heard any whispers regarding price for this model yet? Or educated guess based on previous special editions?
