Volkswagen has introduced the Golf GTI Edition 30, a new study to mark the 30th anniversary of the GTI has been presented recently in the Veltins Arena in Schalke, Gelsenkirchen in front of an audience of thousands of Golf drivers from throughout Europe. With an uprated 230 PS version of the 2.0 litre turbo FSI engine, the Edition 30 study is closely related to the production model and responds to the wishes of GTI enthusiasts.

The options package, in an attempt to try and individualise the car from the mainstream production model, is a reaction to the numerous wishes from customers.

Especially prominent are the 18-inch 'Pescara' alloy wheels, manufactured by BBS and similar in design / look to Challenges. Optional extra wheels are also available and are of the same design as the Monza wheel, except finished in black. The different finish however really changes the look and hopefully wouldn't present the same problems owners of 25th anniversary cars suffer.  The lower front and rear valances and the side skirts are finished in body colour and the darkened tail lights off the new R32 are used to good effect. The extra power should go in some way to respond to criticism from the higher output rivals.

The register is a great way for owners (and potential buyers/sellers) to get together and discuss the model. Split into three, the register covers all 1500 cars that were produced and lists details such as colour, body style (3 or 5 dr) and gives links to personal web pages etc.

Below are links to each section of the Anniversary Register. 

Numbers 0001 to 0500 | Numbers 0501 to 1000* | Numbers 1001 to 1500*
