Where the Beetle had dominated the scene with its rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive for many decades: the era of the front-mounted engine installed across the body and front-wheel drive had finally dawned. The Scirocco and the Passat, introduced in 1973, had kicked off this trend shortly before. With the Golf, the class with the highest volumes had now also been converted to the new technology. The Golf Mk I developed by Giorgetto Giugiaro had to live up to immensely high expectations: As the successor to the legendary Beetle that had been produced more than 21.5 million times, the Golf Mk I had to continue the success story of the

the eighth Golf generationSecond Golf generation sets new technical benchmarks in the compact vehicle class Catalytic converter and ABS celebrate their breakthrough in the Golf Mk II In 1983 Volkswagen launched the second Golf generation on the market. It was in this vehicle that the “Golf generation”, as German best-selling author Florian Illies coined the vehicle’s contemporaries, learnt to drive. The fact of the matter is that this Golf also became a worldwide success: by the time it was phased out in 1991, Volkswagen had produced 6.3 million Golf Mk II. “Generation Golf” now definitely had more space in the Golf. Quote from the 1983 press folder: “The overall length has increased by 170 mm (3.99 m) and the vehicle has become 55 mm wider (1.42 m).” Even though the new Golf generation had become considerably larger, Volkswagen was able to significantly improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics: the Cd value dropped from 0.42 to 0.34. It is also a fact that the Golf Mk II set new technical benchmarks

Today, design experts consider it a style icon that was pioneering for the product line. This also comes as a result of this particular generation’s uncompromisingly clear-cut lines and the product line’s striking C-pillar design that bridged the gap to the 1974 Golf Mk1. With the Golf Mk 4, Volkswagen implemented a completely new quality standard in the segment and was the first manufacturer to cross the boundaries of vehicle categories. Parallel to this, the debut of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and
