Launched in late 2006, this special edition of the fifth-generation Golf was designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first Golf GTI. To mark the occasion, Volkswagen decided to produce a limited edition simply called the “Edition 30”. Its main distinguishing feature was the extra 30 chevaux under the bonnet. Available in five different colours, this anniversary Golf GTI proved so popular that production was eventually increased from 1,500 to 2,280 units. It is a wonderful tribute to the compact saloon and its sporty variant.
