Golf GTI EDITION 50

Golf GTI EDITION 50 – the anniversary model

The anniversary model defines another milestone in the 50-year history of the successful compact sports car. With an output of 239 kW (325 PS), the Golf GTI EDITION 50 is the most powerful of all the Golf GTI built in series production to date. A top speed of 270 km/h also makes it the fastest production model of the Volkswagen brand. The Golf R alone also achieves this speed with an optional "R Performance Package". The technically and visually individualised Golf GTI EDITION 50 comes as standard with an adaptive DCC suspension, 19-inch wheels in exclusive paintwork, LED matrix light and a new seat design. The anniversary GTI will be offered in parallel with the classic Golf GTI with 195 kW (265 PS) and the Golf GTI Clubsport with 221 kW (300 PS).
