In March of 1974, the production of the VW Golf Mk1, designated as Type 17, commenced. The visionary Giorgetto Giugiaro crafted the iconic ‘origami’ design, characterized by its flat planes and sharp corners. This creation stands as the pinnacle of Giugiaro’s illustrious career. The Mk1 GTi made its global debut in May 1975, with GTi signifying ‘Grand Tourer Injection.’
This Golf holds a special place in the hearts of Volkswagen enthusiasts, even as it succeeded the beloved Beetle. It ignited the era of true hot hatchbacks, cementing the GTi as a household name. A pristine representation of a GTi, this car remains a shining example—a testament to its legacy.
