A project run on the margins of the range by a handful of engineers. Volkswagen was counting on five thousand cars.
Launched in 1976 with 110 horsepower, Bosch fuel injection and under 900 kilos, the Golf GTI created an entire category. Golf-ball gear knob, red trim around the grille, tartan seats: the codes were set from the start. More than 400,000 examples would be built before the move to the second generation.
The Overcut polo shirt combines breathable cotton piqué with a clean, straight cut. The high-density embroidery, made in France, reproduces the model's silhouette precisely and stands up to washing. Available in French Marine and Écru.
