The Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50 is arriving in France: a highly anticipated special edition!

A Volkswagen Golf, one of the undisputed symbols of sports cars for the housewife under 50, is back in the spotlight! But wait a second, isn’t there something a bit too calm about this? A special edition, the Golf GTI Edition 50, to celebrate 50 years of this legend on wheels, is finally making its way to France. We’ve seen better anniversaries, especially when you realize that the birthday gift comes with an ecological penalty that will make you cry in your ad!

Volkswagen France, to the rescue of sports car enthusiasts!

After months of uncertainty, during which we wondered if this wonder would see the light of day in our dear neighbor, Volkswagen finally announced that orders would soon open at Volkswagen France. Orders open in January, for deliveries that we hope won’t take longer than a May wedding. If six months of waiting after order opening for a sports car is what we call elite sports, then no worries, we are there!

A penalty that hurts

For some, being in France may mean big meals and wine, but for sports car lovers, it’s about facing the fiscal bite. For those who think that the Golf GTI Edition 50 will emit sweet dreams of performance, not so fast! This little gem of technology won’t be without its war tax. With a penalty of 30,624 euros in 2025, it’s better to have a few bucks saved if you want to treat yourself. What do we learn here? That the joy of buying a sports car is a bit like buying a house with a swimming pool. ADORABLE until the notary asks for your savings.

Performance above all

Let’s reassure ourselves, this anniversary comes with a few technical refinements that will allow everyone to breathe a little easier. With its 2.0-liter turbo engine going from 300 to 325 horsepower, the Golf GTI Edition 50 will allow you to be noticed on the road. The 174 g/km of CO2, of course, will also make you take a turn facing your ecological conscience!

Modifications worthy of a Magician

In terms of appearance, it stands out with 19-inch wheels, and a black roof, not to mention the "GTI 50" monogram. What audacity! With such modifications, it seems almost ready for a street gang... right in the heart of Paris. Charming.

For those who are truly in quest of performance, they can shell out an additional 4,200 euros for the optional GTI Performance Edition 50 package, which also promises to transform your sweet Golf into a real racing beast on the Nürburgring. The icing on the cake? A new record on the track with a lap time of 7:46:13. Go figure, the world champion of bad taste can also be called Volkswagen Motorsport!

In summary, this Golf GTI Edition 50 is not just a simple nod to the past, but a true celebration of the brand. It remains to be seen if fans will quickly tire of the taxes that show up like bailiffs at a funeral.
