New Golf GTI EDITION 50 is the fastest Volkswagen production model on the Nordschleife track
Not yet on the market and already a record holder: on 20 June 2025, Volkswagen will present the world premiere of the new Golf GTI EDITION 50 at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. The most powerful production GTI to date is the exclusive anniversary model for the 50th anniversary of the compact sports car icon. The birthday celebration will take place in 2026 – in parallel with the market entry of the new model. But the Golf GTI EDITION 50 has already written itself into the history books of the Nürburgring and the Volkswagen brand: racing driver Benny Leuchter (D) completed a lap of the Nordschleife with a near-production test vehicle of the Golf GTI EDITION 50 in just 07:46:13 minutes. A new record – never before has a Volkswagen with road approval been faster on the Nürburgring. -

The new Tayron - Media Drive
All-round SUV with charisma. The new Tayron is an all-round SUV. With up to seven seats, an extra-large luggage compartment, front- or all-wheel drive and a very high level of safety, it is perfectly suited for larger families and any leisure adventure. At the same time, the comfortable Tayron impresses as an ideal company car. Robust all-terrain features on the exterior and high-quality materials in the interior ensure that it drives through the jungle of everyday life undamaged. As a mild hybrid (eTSI), it does this as often as possible with the turbocharged petrol engine deactivated. Thanks to electric recuperation, the vehicle then drives in silent and efficient coasting mode. As the plug-in hybrid (eHybrid) variant, the Tayron runs purely electrically for up to 126 km; together, the combination of electric drive motor and high-tech turbocharged petrol engine offer a range of more than 900 km for long journeys. Equipped with a turbodiesel (TDI) or turbocharged petrol engine (TSI) with all-wheel drive (4MOTION), the SUV also masters off-road stretches with confidence and can pull trailers weighing up to 2,500 kg. The all-rounder is positioned between the Touareg (premium class) and the Tiguan (mid-sized class). The Tayron is built where it was developed: in Wolfsburg. -
In detail – the exterior design and interior concept of the new Volkswagen concept vehicle ID. EVERY1
With the world premiere of the ID. 2all, Volkswagen presented a concept vehicle for the first time based on the brand’s new design language. This visual language specifically transfers iconic design elements such as the legendary C-pillar of the first Golf into the near future and into new segments. Now the design team has transferred this new language to the concept vehicle of an electric Volkswagen entry-level model: the ID. EVERY1. The style and character of the smallest Volkswagen are shaped by the three central values of the new design language: stability, likeability and secret sauce. Volkswagen Head of Design Andreas Mindt: “The widely flared wheel housings over the large 19-inch wheels and the athletic and clearly designed surfaces of the silhouette ensure stability. The slightly cheeky smile at the front is a particularly likeable feature. A secret sauce element is the roof drawn in in the middle, as is usually known from sports cars. All these design elements lend the ID. EVERY1 a charismatic identity with which people can identify.” The pillars of stability, likeability and the secret sauce shape the design of the ID. EVERY1 in the following way: -
The new Tayron - World premiere
Redefined – the SUV as an all-rounder. Volkswagen is launching a new SUV model on the European market: the Tayron. The five- or seven-seater sport utility vehicle is positioned between the exclusive Touareg (premium class) and the efficient Tiguan (mid-sized class). Pre-sales are due to start in the autumn. The Tayron was developed and designed in Wolfsburg, and that’s also where it will be built. The SUV’s technical basis is the latest evolutionary stage of the modular transverse (MQB evo) platform. In addition, technology systems that were first developed for the Touareg have been adapted. Examples of the technology transferred to the Tayron include the interactive IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights and the seats with a pneumatic 10-chamber pressure point massage function. One thing is certain: the new Tayron is an SUV whose comfort features are best-in-class, whose appealing quality with details such as real wood trim give it a luxury-class feel, whose superior luggage compartment volume with five passengers on board reaches up to 885 litres, whose outstanding aerodynamics (drag coefficient = 0.28) decisively optimise efficiency and whose plug-in hybrid drive with over 100 km of electric range (forecast) is one of the most economical systems of its kind in the world. The Tayron is also a stylish automotive towing vehicle that – with a maximum trailer weight of up to 2.5 tonnes – is perfect for transporting horses, classic cars, motor boats or a large caravan for holidays.
