GTI Edition 50 first press release

From the photos the record car has the same bodykit as the regular Clubsport model but minus the stickers which are yet to be revealed.

The seats appear to have a different fabric, looks like a mixture of tartan or something like what the CS 40 buckets had.

Fastest production golf round the ring?

And most expensive no doubt...

I'd said I'd love an ED50 as the last ED they are likely to make but... no. Its going to be something like £47k I'll bet...

I can’t believe I missed those on my first look at video.

@Fredgroves Yes I think you’re right but perhaps if there is an optional performance pack then maybe base price will be a little lower. (Ok I’m probably dreaming).

@Joegti, yes I spotted the seat fabric and it looks like grey tartan pattern on side bolsters with a different pattern on seat backs. No doubt “50” must feature somewhere on the seats.

Certainly got time to save up if not out till next year.

No disappointment at all, as there were no expectations. Typical VW stuff over the last years.

Add some decals, make richer standard equipment, add a couple of horsepower (if any). that's it.

They don't like..okay..they HATE to add something new to the production line  :smiley:

Record lap onboard.

And of course, there was no way it was going to complete a full lap without at least one bong! 🤪

So far, Not impressed - Doesn't look "very special" as an Edition 35 owner, I would expect it to be set out abit - looks like any other white 8.5 GTi to me.

No exclusive wheels or bumpers or even splitters from what I can see.
Every "edition" that has come out has had at least an exclusive set of wheels made by BBS.
