The decline of the European new car market has continued throughout February. According to JATO Dynamics data, 1,063,264 units were registered last month, compared to 1,143,852 in February 2019. This equates to a decline of 7.0%, as last month saw the lowest number of registrations since 2015 – when only 955,113 units were registered. This […] More
An incredibly rare 1979 Volkswagen Golf GTI 1.6 Mk1 Series 1 in museum quality condition with ‘unicorn’ status will go under the hammer with leading online classic car auction house, The Market. The very early, UK, right hand drive, 4 speed variant has covered less than 17,000 miles from new in the hands of only three registered owners, […] More
The eighth-generation Golf is now available with Volkswagen’s new eTSI mild hybrid powertrain, boasting all the virtues of 48-volt hybridisation, as the brand continues the ramp-up in the electrification of its products. Meanwhile, the popular, well-equipped and sportily-styled R-Line specification returns to the Golf, offering a package of exterior and interior upgrades to distinguish it […] More
When Volkswagen launched the first Golf GTI 45 years ago at the International Motor show (IAA) in Frankfurt, no one could have guessed that the three letters G, T and I would go on to identify an icon. But that is exactly what happened. Anyone referring to GTI today is talking about an icon: the […] More
Every year Volkswagen lets its apprentices loose to create a car or two for the massive Worthersee show in Austria. This year, two teams were given a VW Golf each, that have been turned into the sort of modded powerhouse you’d expect a group of ultra-keen apprentices with the full resources of the VW Group […] More

IN 1976 Save Your Kisses For Me was the Eurovision winner, a heatwave hit the UK and Second Division Southampton beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final. And in the same year two fast legends of engineering were born. Concorde, the first supersonic passenger airliner, made its first commercial flight from London to Bahrain […] More

The Golf GTi is the undisputed boss of the hot-hatch world. When the Mk1 version hit the streets way back in 1976 it blew people’s minds. It was (for the time) staggeringly fast. It was sharp, direct, it was ludicrous in comparison to everything else on the road. Rich in technology such as fuel injection […] More
The new VW Golf GTi Clubsport S is now officially the fastest front-wheel-drive car ever to lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife, setting a scarcely believable time of 7min 49.21secs. You need serious firepower and serious hardware to turn that much speed and the GTi CS S has lots of both. The firepower comes from a 2.0 […] More
Volkswagen has confirmed that next week it will launch the most powerful VW Golf GTi there has ever been, the 306bhp Clubsport S. That horsepower figure actually makes it more powerful than the four-wheel-drive Golf R; think of this as the 911 GT3 RS to the R’s 911 Turbo. More pertinently, the Clubsport S produces […] More
This fighty-looking little racer is the 2016-spec Volkswagen Golf GTi that will race around the world in TCR series. A development version of the car contested a part campaign in TCR International last year, winning first time out. So there’s every chance the latest version will be a bit good. Though the badge says GTi, […] More
Brilliant though it is, there’s no denying the evergreen Volkswagen Golf GTi has been left behind in the power stakes recently. So what better to celebrate the iconic hot hatch’s 40th birthday than by turning the wick up? That’s exactly what VW has done for the Volkswagen Golf GTi Clubsport edition. Not just a bit, […] More
Volkswagen Motorsport has revealed its new Volkswagen Golf touring car racer. Mean, innit? The machine has been built to compete in the TCR International series. TCR is pitched as a relatively low-cost series, the cars built to a strict set of regulations and costing around £65,000. (By contrast, an NGT-spec car as used in the British […] More
To be honest, I don’t really know what to make of the hybrid-powered Volkswagen Golf GTE. Let’s deal with the nuts and bolts. The Golf GTE is powered by a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine producing 148bhp and a 101bhp electric motor. Running in parallel, they make 201bhp and 258lb/ft of torque, not too far off […] More
Another day, another Worthersee show car. But then the four-day event in Austria is the biggest Volkswagen show in Europe, possibly the world, so you would expect the various VW Group brands to show off their latest wild ideas. Volkswagen has gone to Worthersee with this, the hybrid-powered Volkswagen Golf GTE Sport. Looks a lot […] More
Volkswagen has added the R-Line trim package to the Golf line-up. As the name suggests, it has the sporty looks of the 296bhp Golf R with more prosaic engines. The Volkswagen Golf R-Line gets new bumpers, side skirts, grille, air intakes, rear diffuser and suspension lowered 10mm over 17-inch wheels. Inside, there’s sports seats, leather […] More
The Golf Estate has always been an eminently sensible family car. But hardly exciting. So Volkswagen has decided it wants to turn its mid-size wagon’s rather staid image around. We’ve already seen the 296bhp, four-wheel-drive Golf R Estate and now VW has announced it will unveil the new Golf GTD Estate at the Geneva Motor […] More
There are few absolute truths in life, but here are two: the hugely capable, understated Volkswagen Golf R is the coolest hot hatch currently on sale; and fast estates are really cool. So, if you combine a Golf R with a Golf Estate, the result must surely be incredibly desirable. On paper, the Volkswagen Golf […] More
Prodrive has taken the wraps off its latest rally car project, the Volkswagen Golf SCRC. David Richards’ firm is best known for its hugely successful rallying exploits with Subaru. More recently, it designed and built the short-lived Mini Countryman WRC. The Golf has been built specifically for the Chinese Rally Championship, in conjuction with VW’s […] More
The Volkswagen Group’s range of ruggedised, off-roady estates is growing rapidly. Audi’s A4 and A6 Allroad are well established, there’s the Skoda Octavia Scout and Superb Outdoor and the VW Passat Alltrak. SEAT recently revealed it’s own interpretation of the theme, the Leon X-Perience, and now there’s this, the Volkswagen Golf Alltrak. The Alltrak is […] More
A Volkswagen Golf GTi Cabriolet raised over £3,000 pounds for the Help for Heroes charity when it was auctioned yesterday (Monday). The 1989-vintage car was donated by a lady after 24 years of ownership. With just 89,000 miles on the clock, the Golf even had the VW-branded shopping bag and baseballs caps that came with […] More
Volkswagen is now taking orders for the Golf SV plus-sized hatchback. It replaces the Golf Plus in the range, sitting between the smaller hatchback and the larger estate. Based on the Mk.7 Golf’s MQB platform, the SV is longer of wheelbase, wider and taller than the hatchback, freeing up usefully more interior space. The rear […] More
