Volkswagen Golf 1 GTI - 1981
In 1976, Volkswagen had a simple idea: take a Golf, slip in a 1600 injection engine, and stick three letters on the trunk. Three letters that would change the definition of the sports car for the next fifty years. The original, the real one, the one without which none of the GTIs that followed would have existed. You’re not buying a car, you’re buying the starting point of an entire lineage.
