Chipped UK - Where performance counts and dreams come true
The New GTI

The New GTI Introduced

All the excitment wasn't expeced in 1975 at the Frankfurt Motor Show when a Golf with a few little additions was introduced to the public. It took until 1979 for the steering wheel to be avalible on the right but, by then, the recipe had been perfected and the seed sown; the GTI was born.

Success was unexpected, and since then the UK has always been one of the most important areas for the Golf GTI outside of the German home market. Regardless of this, the design did differ from the original a little too much in the 1990s - perhaps as people grew up and the market briefly thought it wanted comfort and the red grill disappeared.

But the red grill is back. uk-mkivs.net went to see what else this youngster had to offer.
