About the Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 35 Mk6
Released to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the GTI nameplate, the Edition 35 is more than just a cosmetic package. Unlike the standard Mk6 GTI which uses the EA888 engine, the Edition 35 utilizes a detuned version of the EA113 unit found in the Golf R and Mk5 Edition 30, offering greater tuning overhead. It is distinguished by a unique front bumper, '35' wing badges, and 'Watkins Glen' alloy wheels. The interior features 'honeycomb' seat inserts and the iconic golf-ball gear knob, making it a highly sought-after modern classic for Volkswagen enthusiasts.
