It was 30 years ago this year that VW took a commom-und-garten Golf and turned it into a legend.Frankly since the Mk I GTI, the hot Golf's have got progressively heavier and soggier. That is, of course, until the current model.
The Mk V is both gorgeous and a hoot to drive, and its about to get faster.
To celebrate the birthday of the seminal hot-hatch VW have produced a special version with 30ps extra (that's about 28bhp), giving a total of near 230bhp. The GTI Edition 30 comes with a 6 speed manual or dual-clutch semi-auto and will hit 60 in 6.8 seconds (or .2 quicker with the swith-shifter).
Externally the new car comes with revised side skirts and front and rear bumpers and special 18 inch alloys.
Just 1,500 will be made, yours for £22k for the manual and a hefty £23,330 for the DSG equipped version.
