The journey into the world of racing begins with the Group 4 Golf GTI Pierburg, which made rally world championship history in the 1980s. The exhibit then progresses to a Golf GTI Group A, the winning car of the 1986 FIA Rally World Championship. Alongside it stands the magnificent Rallye Golf G60 Group A, renowned for its G-Lader supercharger. The only Golf equipped with two combustion engines is the Pikes Peak, which competed in the namesake US hill climb race. Also on display is one of the ultraexclusive Rallye Golf G60 16V models, producing 210 PS, only twelve of which were ever built. Additionally, visitors will be excited to see the one-of-a-kind prototype Golf Rallye A59. The contemporary era is represented by two Golf GTI Clubsport models. The first is the Clubsport S, which set a Nürburgring- Nordschleife record for front-wheel-drive cars in 2016. The second, the Golf GTI Clubsport 24h, recently conquered the 'Green Hell', securing a class victory at the 24-hour race with drivers Benny Leuchter and Johan Kristoffersson at the helm. Together, these eight exhibition vehicles amass a staggering 2,461 PS, demonstrating the relentless pursuit of performance and innovation that defines the Golf's motorsport legacy. → Golf Motorsport Icons50 Years of the Sporty Golf Vehicle Number 01 Golf I | GTI Group 4 'Pierburg' Manufacturing Year of Model Displayed 1981 / Rebuilt in 2011 Power / Engine 158 kW (215 PS) / 4 cylinders, Oettinger 4-valve head, 1,588 cc Top Speed Varies depending on gear ratio Golf GTI Group 4 'Pierburg' The original Golf GTI Pierburg—named after its main sponsor—was equipped with a modified GTI engine featuring a two-valve head.
