Sometimes, three letters are all it takes to make history.
The Golf GTI made its debut in 1976 and it remains the sports car for everyone up to the present day: emotive yet modest, dynamic and focused on the essentials. In its eighth generation, the compact athlete offers even greater driving dynamics and is more highly connected and digital than ever before. Its 2.0 TSI engine delivers 180 kW (245 PS) and produces a torque of 370 Nm. The driving dynamics manager – a central control unit that coordinates the work of the adjustable running gear functions – ensures maximum agility and active safety. The Golf GTI Clubsport is intended for all those who are looking for an even sharper vehicle with added bite: with an output of 221 kW (300 PS), an electromechanical axle differential lock on the front axle and further enhanced driving dynamics, this is the GTI flagship model.

Celebrating the birthday of an icon: Volkswagen launches the exclusive Golf GTI Clubsport 45 onto the market
In the summer of 1976, Volkswagen launched a distinctively sporty Golf onto the market: the GTI. At that time no one at Volkswagen had any idea that the Golf GTI would eventually become the world’s most successful compact sports car. But that is exactly what happened – from production of the 5,000 vehicles that were originally planned to well in excess of 2.3 million today. Now Volkswagen is marking the 45th birthday of this iconic car with an anniversary model: the Golf GTI Clubsport 45 – an exclusive edition of the 221 kW/300 PS Golf GTI Clubsport. Extensive individualisation makes the Clubsport 45 a ready-made collector’s item, even as new. First presales will begin in selected European countries on 1 March. Price in Germany: from 47,790 euros.
