35th anniversary GTI???

[rich83]

Might be a bit early but has any one got any pics ??

on a quick google search i just found this on a German forum.





any ideas if this is what it'll look like or if this is it??

Please make that picture go away....

That's a bona fide real car. I can't remember the name of the kit maker though.

Yeah, it's the Revozport Razor kit.

When will the 35th anniversary be getting launched? must be soon?

[tony_danza]

Would have thought it'll be announced later this year with Jan '12 onwards deliveries.

They've a lot of scope, but I think it'll be reasonably conservative and with a bigger ED30 style output.

Can't see how they'd up the power without treading on the R's toes? If  there is one, I'd expect it to just be a posher version, but I reckon there won't be anything until year 40, the next proper milestone.

[tony_danza]

The 25th got the 1st of the 180BHP motors, the ED30 was pitched between the GTI and R, I expect they'd either squeeze a bit from the current lump or de-tune the R's motor?

I wouldn't expect much more off piste at 40, they didn't exactly celebrate 20 - the MKIII Anniversary was junk!

I have one of the rare ie 1 of 150 made mk3 anni on my drive at the mo and it's not fast but its a nice car

The mk7 is rumoured to be out late 2012, so the next special might be held back for that version.

Why such a short run for the MK6 ? Is that because the MK6 is rubbish 
The Next edition of an uprated Golf must have a different engine ? They have finsihed producing the TSI engines so whats next ?
And where to position it in their range will be difficult.
I expect an Edition 40 and not 35 due to all of the above and other reasons.

MK6 is only a Mk5.5 really, so put the 5 and the 5.5 together and you get a standard length of time

We all know it will just be a parts bin special based on the scirocco R engine and box ie an edition 30 engine with more power.

[Sunglasses Ron]

We all know it will be a cheap model based on the scirocco R engine and box ie edition 30 with more power.

So good then yeah?

I reckon VW should go for it and bring out an R-GTI Edition 35 with the 5 pot at 300bhp

har har, we can all dream,

We know when released it will be 2 wheels drive still, no K04 on the newer TSI so if it is bigger than the current engine it will have to be the older K04 Ed30/R engine probably detuned a little (235 hp maybe!) unless they shock and just up the newer engine - but dont think they have done this elsewhere so I doubt

LED DRL's R style bumper, LED rears (as GTi's have now anyway)
special edition interior
different wheels
price hike

is what I reckon

2.5TSI... yeah right.
