  • UK 30th Anniversary GTI

    Earlier this year, Volkswagen previewed a 'design study' for a 30th Anniversary Special Edition Golf GTI to be sold in the European and North American markets.

    The automaker has now released official photos of Golf GTI Edition 30 for the U.K. market. Unlike the original concept, the production car is fitted with different wheels, apparently due to consumer demand. At its heart is an uprated version of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder T-FSI engine fitted to the standard GTI. The result is 230 hp — a rise of 30 hp over the standard car. This is mated to a choice of six-speed manual or sequential DSG gearboxes channelling drive through the front wheels.

    The new Golf GTI Edition 30 will sprint to 62 mph in only 6.8 seconds (6.6 secs when equipped with DSG) before reaching a maximum of 150 mph. So far, there has been no word on availability of the U.S. version. The American edition is expected to celebrate 25 years of the GTI in the U.S.A.

    **Now this appears to be a photoshop of the earlier pics but is official from VW UK but still waiting on confirmation from VWAG.**

      Red trim on the carpets but not the seats? That or it is very subtle on the seats and not on the carpets?

        The seats are actually leather bolsters with cloth inserts so that is a little different from the norm.

          Looks nice!

          Was hoping they'd make it come standard with 19" wheels and more aggressively bolstered seats. But otherwise it's quite tempting!

              I can't stand those seat inserts. That would kill the deal for me.

                  Well here are some new pics of the German version which the NA version of the 25th Anniversary is said to be very similar too. We should get the BBS style wheels though, but only time will tell
