From 1 June, 2,500 limited-edition models will be available to order:
⏱ 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 secs.
👍 2-litre TSI with an output of 152 kW (207 hp)

Such cars should always come with an option for a 3-door body and a manual transmission, too bad they don't exist. Let's hope that there will be many more years of pure sports cars like this out there!

[@danielfl.9347]

You can get the Golf 8 GTI with a manual gearbox still.

[@danielfl.9347]

Make it with 6-speed manual gearbox again, please VW!

[@danl4252]

Yeah.. I second this. If there was a manual one available now, I’d upgrade from my 6C GTI.

[@danielfl.9347]

@@danl4252 The new model pre-facelift from 2020 was optional to get with a 6-speed manual. But the new facelift does not come with a manual

[@danl4252]

@@danielfl.9347 really. I don’t think we got that option in the UK. I’m always looking at cars. And never seen a manual one for sale

[@eLeMeNt4363]

Wow... The car is made here in South Africa but I cant buy one. Would have been the perfect timing too im in the market for a new Polo GTI.

[@picklestheswift]

I need one of these 😂😂😂😂😂 that's my next car!!!

[@jonathoncross7472]

No you don't. I own this and a Saab 9-3 Turbo X.... I take the keys to the Saab....

[@bonnaud_dowell]

ID2all Gtx is the future 😊

[@Volks2462]

What’s the story with the steering wheel ? Have they gone back to buttons on all models or just this one

[@SwordfishEV]

👍

Hmm naja also ich habe einen Polo GTI (11/2022) und ich sehe kaum Besonderheiten. Einen Sticker auf der Seite und anstelle des GTI Logos im Lenkrad eine 25 sowie andere Felgen?!. Die Ventilkappen gibt's im VW Shop und die Sitze sehen an sich nicht schlecht aus, zumal ich mir Ledersitze im normalen GTI gewünscht hätte (Welche es glaube ich in Afrika gibt, warum nicht in Europa?). Irgendwie sehen die Sitze aber auch an mancher Stelle beim Ausstieg komisch aus. Vielleicht nur Lederüberzüge? Ansonsten ist der Polo GTI ein tolles Auto und macht Spaß. Ich wünsche den Glücklichen viel Spaß damit!

[@Mrfunvideoman]

Naja innen anderes Dekor, weiß nicht ob er die xdr differenzialsperre immer hat aber 35000€, der normale Polo GTI kostet voll auch 42000€ ..

[@Flozitus]

@@Mrfunvideoman Die Diffsperre hat der Normale und voll ausgestattet kostet er beim entsprechenden Händler um die 35.000,-€. Ich finde es nur Schade das für ein Jubiläum nicht etwas mehr gemacht wurde. Eine spezielle Folierung oder so etwas, anstatt ein paar Sticker unten an der Seite. Jubiläen sind ja auch nicht jedes Jahr.

[@LeX0er]

Okay built in SA but will it be sold in SA?? Please say yes

[@teachtech5480]

It should be, hopefully🤞🏾

[@Orangebeamer]

0:10 that sound from a Polo GTI in germany? haha

[@RinDman77]

No wavetrac LSD, not even R model ... Just the R5, instead of going to F1 , go to WRC !

[@Andi_mit_E]

with exhaust = without me!

[@ivlog3663]

Just buy an old golf, better car, better price, better performance etc….

[@roccocarlino067]

As a motorcyclist I can confirm cars are boring to drive.

[@renatohenrique1056]

It couldn't be more artificial. It's soooo embarrassing !
