Volkswagen Golf GTI 50th anniversary celebrations

Overview

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Golf GTI, Volkswagen Korea has initiated several promotional activities. The company opened pre-orders for the ‘Golf GTI Dark Moss Limited Edition’, a special model limited to 100 units in the South Korean market. This edition features a Dark Moss Green exterior, specific interior upgrades, and a 2.0 TSI engine.

Following the pre-order announcement, Volkswagen Korea published a history book titled ‘50 YEARS OF GTI’. The book chronicles the vehicle’s evolution from its 1976 debut through its eighth generation, detailing its design heritage, technical progression, and motorsport history. The publication is available in limited quantities at official showrooms for customers participating in consultations or test drives.

Specific details for the South Korean limited edition include a price of 54.25 million KRW, a Black Exterior Package, and an upgraded interior with an ArtVelour steering wheel. Customers purchasing this model receive a GTI Welcome Kit, a unique number plate from 1 to 100, and a 5-year or 150,000 km extended warranty program. The book also covers the lineage of the Golf R and global fan culture, such as ‘GTI Treffen’ events.
