To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the original hot hatch, Volkswagen has announced the first details of the latest special edition Golf GTI model – the Golf GTI Edition 35. 
 
With an increase in power of 25 PS over the standard version, the Edition 35 develops 235 PS and is the most powerful production Golf GTI to date.
 
In addition to the increase in power, the Edition 35 combines classic GTI design elements with features specially created for this latest anniversary model. The new features include a revised front bumper, lightweight 18-inch alloy wheels, and the return of the golf ball gearknob. The ‘35’ signature appears on the front wings, sill plates and upholstery.
 
This latest anniversary model will make its world debut at the legendary GTI event at Wörthersee in Austria at the beginning of June.
 
The Golf GTI Edition 35 will open for order in the UK later this year. Prices and full UK specification will be announced on Desktop in due course.
