GOLF GTI PIRELLI - MK5 GTI BOWS OUT ON A HIGH NOTE THANKS TO MORE GRUNT AND GRIP

摘要

With the new-generation Mk6 Golf GTI having just broken cover at October's Paris Motor Show, Volkswagen Oz is sending out the fifth-generation model in fine style with the GTI Pirelli. Named after the apparently legendary original GTI Pirelli that launched in May 1983 (in Europe) to mark the end of the Mk1 Golf's nine-year production run, the Mk5 version is meant to be a limited edition, though VW hasn't mentioned any build numbers. They built 10,500 of the original - hardly what you'd call exclusive - but considering the new GTI Pirelli is just like a regular GTI only better, bring 'em on, we say.
