50 years of Polo
At the time, it became the smallest member of a new, modern model range alongside the Passat, Scirocco, and Golf. From a technical perspective, the small car was based on the Audi 50, which had been available since October 1974; the two cars were identical in design, with the exception of a few parts. The high-revving 0.9-litre engine also came from the Audi factory in Ingolstadt. Providing 29 kW (40 PS), it powered the Polo (which weighed just 685 kilogrammes) to speeds of up to 132 km/h. The three-door small car offered a range of equipment that was well-crafted, but had been reduced to the most necessary items to allow the vehicle to be sold at an affordable price. The Polo N was the entry-level version, available from DM 7,500, while the Polo L was available for an additional DM 510. The superior “L” equipment included a two-stage heater blower, intermittent windscreen wipers, and carpet.
50 years of Golf
Here, too, the GTI set standards with two title wins, and also shone with its reliability and marathon qualities in the famous 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. 1 Golf I GTI ‘Zebra’ GENUINE GOLF SPORT Volkswagen had long held back with official motorsport activities, but this changed from 1976: with the Golf GTI, a contemporary sports car was finally available. 5 7 64 2 3 24 | 25 50 J ah re G ol f M ot or sp or tl eg en de n 2 Golf I GTI ‘Rheila’ In 1981, Alfons Stock and co-driver Paul Schmuck won the German Rally Championship title.
