Volkswagen opens orders for the Golf GTI EDITION 50, which could well mark the end of a purely combustion-powered era.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the GTI, this limited edition develops 239 kW (325 hp) with a torque of 420 Nm. It reaches 270 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, offering exceptional driving pleasure.
The Golf GTI, an icon since 1976 with more than 2.5 million units sold, here features a chassis lowered by 15 mm, combining a MacPherson front axle and a four-link rear axle, with adaptive DCC tuning as standard. The 19-inch “Queenstown” lightweight alloy wheels and exclusive design details reinforce the sporty and refined style of this anniversary model.
For performance enthusiasts, the optional GTI Performance “EDITION 50” pack offers Bridgestone “Potenza Race” semi-slick tires, forged wheels, a titanium R-Performance exhaust, and a Performance chassis lowered by 5 mm, reducing weight by about 30 kg. Driver Benjamin Leuchter set a record on the Nürburgring Nordschleife with this setup, completing the 20.832 km in 7:46.13.
The interior of the GTI EDITION 50 features sports seats with a checkered pattern and red seat belts, a multifunction steering wheel with GTI 50 monogram, and DSG paddles. The exterior is distinguished by a black roof, black mirror caps and exhaust tips, as well as Tornado black-to-red gradient side stripes. Five colors are offered, including two exclusive shades: Metallic Dark Moss Green and Tornado Red.

Offered starting from 54,540 euros in Germany, it is unlikely to avoid the maximum 70,000-euro penalty tax in France. It is therefore unlikely to see one on our soil, even though Volkswagen will offer it on the French market in January 2026. Ultimately, the Golf GTI EDITION 50 symbolizes a historic chapter for Volkswagen: the last combustion GTI, where power, sportiness, and GTI DNA come together to charm enthusiasts.
