Deep Dive Into Volkswagens Rarest Golf - Secrets Exposed - Golf A59 Prototype

[@presentjr]

If I were CEO of VW I would start a classic line. VW Golf Classic, VW Jetta Classic, etc and they would have the same dimensions as the 90s golf and Jetta and interior will be similar with a modern touch and technology.

These big Fender flares reminds me of the later Golf 4 silhouette. Also the idea with the rear VW batch an putting the lincense plate down into the bumper.

[@fcpeuro-media]

Its for sure there in the silhouette!

Why did nobody 3D scan it yet? Then a body kit could be accurately made for the average mk3 golf and people who still mod these cars could have the next best thing to the golf A59.

Sweet video, and it was also great meeting you at PPIHC ‘24 Fan Fest last weekend at the FCP Euro tent, Nate! Just curious - do you guys know if the AWD system uses a true hydraulic active center “differential” (like an Evo or STI, for example) or is it an active center “coupling” (clutch pack) like a modern Golf R Haldex/BorgWarner system?

You can see the inspiration for the MK4 in the silhouette.

Water reservoir Right near battery... Sigh

[@fcpeuro-media]

maybe a few things would have changed for production haha

[@asherkimball8349]

Such a shame it didn't make production

[@fcpeuro-media]

Ya really hate to see it... would have been so good

[@atransitvanman]

had me until he said “le mans” badly…

Actually, for an English speaker that’s a pretty good approximation. The ‘s’ is indeed supposed to be silent.

[@sarahdell4042]

So cool!

[@robhersey1796]

It's 30 years later. No-one cares. The mk3 is older than 50 percent of the people driving on the road today.

[@tt-rs1457]

Seriously ?

[@robhersey1796]

@@tt-rs1457 Seriously. I own a mk2, mk3, and mk4, all garage kept beauties. And even I don't give a crap about the A59.
