Volkswagen Adds The 2023 Golf GTI 40th Anniversary Edition Vehicle To Their Lineup
To celebrate Volkswagen GTI turning 40 this year (the US version), there will be a 2023 special 40th Anniversary Edition GTI model. The 2023 special edition vehicle comes with 40th anniversary badging and exclusive colors of Tornado Red, Urano Gray, Opal White Pearl, and Pomelo Yellow Metallic. Another added feature will be that the roof, wheels, and mirror caps come in black.
For the interior design, there will be the original plaid cloth seats that are also found in the S and SE trim. The platform for the 40th Anniversary Edition is of the entry-level S trim, with added items saved for the top-sec Autobahn. This includes adaptive dampers, 19-inch wheels with 235-35 summer tires, and speed-sensitive steering. Volkswagen stated that the redline-accented wheels come from the European GTI Clubsport 45.
This special edition vehicle has the same 241-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 as all the other U.S. GTI models. The starting price for the S trim is $30,530 (plus destination fee), the SE cost is $35,330 (plus destination fee), and the Autobahn trim starts at around $39,070 (plus destination fee). The VW 40th Anniversary Edition will also be available in North America, starting with 1,500 units. Once the 2023 Golf GTI 40th Anniversary Edition goes on sale, it will cost $33,055 (plus destination fee) with the manual transmission, and the cost for the automatic will be $33,855 (plus destination fee). More features that come with the extra $3,000 cost are 19-inch alloy wheels, a lit-up grille, the number “40” appearing on the door sills, the bottom of the steering wheel, and a manual shift knob.
Here Is Another Golf Anniversary Edition Vehicle
Volkswagen recently announced a brand new Golf R special edition to honor the 20th anniversary of the first-ever R32’s European launch. This unique anniversary edition model comes equipped with shiny black 19-inch Estori wheels, contrasting mirror caps, lights that project “20 R” onto the ground, blue R badges, and last but certainly not least, a one-of-a-kind 20th Anniversary badge on the B pillar. The Golf “R” also has all-wheel drive and an adaptive damping system. There are currently only 1,800 units being offered, and any lucky person to be one of the owners of this exciting new car will get to choose between a six-speed manual and a seven-speed dual-clutch.
The 2023 VW Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition has a starting price of $44,940 (plus destination fee) for the manual model and $45,740 (plus destination fee) for the seven-speed DSG. There is 315 horsepower and 295 lb-ft torque in the available 7-speed DSG with no sunroof because Volkswagen says it saves weight.
