The car that essentially invented the hot tire set the bar high for all its successors.

Nevertheless, his birth was anything but easy…

The prototype was based on the Scirocco, with an integrated EA827 engine with twin carburettors and a lowered suspension. When the VW head of development took it for a test drive, he complained about the rough suspension and the intrusive noise caused by the intake system. He declared the vehicle "unroadworthy". Nevertheless, the Golf GTI team was kept going and eventually built a truly special car.

Gunhild Lijequist was commissioned to design interior features that would set the interior of the GTI apart from the normal Golf. Her design became an interior design legend: the light, checkered patterned upholstery and the gearshift tip reminiscent of a golf ball. Almost a no-brainer for our sock design.
