Essai Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI Edition 35 : le bon compromis !

In 2011, Volkswagen France launched a limited edition of its Golf GTI. Based on the 6 version, this special edition, called "Edition 35", was intended to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the legendary first-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI. Initially, it was not to be produced in France, but ultimately, a little over 477 units were built. While it resembled a classic GTI, it was distinguished by specific equipment and, above all, a more powerful engine borrowed from the Golf 6 R. Deflated to 235 hp, it offered high-flying performance: 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 247 km/h! The transmission is not 4-wheel drive like on the Golf R, the Golf 6 GTI "Edition 35" being a front-wheel drive equipped with an XDS electronic limited slip differential. Driving is a pleasure, and the engine remains discreet without being too present in the cabin, with a limited exhaust note. An excellent car that offers a good compromise between the Golf GTI and the sixth-generation R. The Golf GTI has been produced since 1976. It remains a strong symbol for Volkswagen, having embodied sportiness for several decades. A simple recipe that, with the idea of ​​putting a powerful engine (110 hp) with injection in a compact car, gave birth to a long line of sports cars that many manufacturers will draw inspiration from.
