Golf GTI Wolfsburg Edition at Wörthersee

Twelve Volkswagen apprentices have built a special Golf for this year’s GTI Treffen which is being held at Reifnitz am Wörthersee in Austria.

Based on a production GTI Performance model, the one-off Wolfsburg Edition features a unique body kit as well as an upgraded 2.0 litre turbocharged engine that produces a substantial 375 bhp (279 kW / 380 PS).

Its colour scheme has been inspired by the original Golf GTI of 1976. On the outside, red paintwork is offset by contrasting black stripes, with those along the doors depicting a silhouette of the Wolfsburg skyline.

The same shades are used for the restyled interior, which also incorporates suitably retro touches such as a golf ball gear knob and some tartan trim.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
