The fascination of the GTI.
1976: Volkswagen produces the Golf GTI, the world's first compact sports car. The concept is widely copied on a national and international scale - but the original remains unmatched.

2004: Like its famous predecessor, the new Golf GTI also embodies pure power, pure dynamism and sportiness through and through.

On the outside, the red-frame honeycomb radiator grille, a distinctive GTI rear spoiler and the twin exhaust pipes immediately signal the sporty calibre of the new Golf GTI. And on the inside, too, the classic sports steering wheel, sports seats and aluminium-look pedals leave you in no doubt where you are: in a genuine GTI!
