History of the vehicle

The VW Golf 1 GTI was introduced in 1976 and very quickly gained huge popularity, both in the civilian market and in motorsports. The car was produced mainly for the German and European markets, but its versatility was also appreciated in other countries. The GTI version was equipped with a dynamic 1.6 L engine which, combined with its attractive silhouette and light weight, provided excellent performance.

This model represents the second half of the 1970s and the 1980s, fitting into the automotive trends of the postwar period, the so-called modern times. The Golf I GTI was used both by private owners and in rallying or circuit racing—there, too, it earned a reputation for durability and sporty character.
