Volkswagen ~~Korea~~ Golf GTI 50th anniversary celebrations

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. Expanding on these anniversary celebrations, Volkswagen has reintroduced the Golf GTI to the Argentine market. This new version, imported from Germany, is priced at approximately USD 65,000. The model is powered by a 2.0 TSI four-cylinder turbo engine producing 265 CV and 370 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. Features include 18-inch alloy wheels, IQ. Light LED Matrix headlights, and an interior with leather seats offering heating and ventilation.
