==In-game description==
In May 1974, Volkswagen announced the Volkswagen Golf, a car that would go on to define the compact car genre. The sudden popularity of the Golf spurred Volkswagen to produce many variations of the vehicle. One of those variations was a sport model called the GTI which debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1975.
The GTI was based on the 2-door LSE model, and the compression ratio of the 1.6 L SOHC inline-4 was raised to 9.5. It was equipped with Bosch fuel injection and had a maximum output of 108 BHP @ 6,100 rpm and maximum torque of 14.0 kgfm @ 5,000 rpm. The suspension was also strengthened to match, the car was fitted with dedicated springs and dampers, as well as wider 175/70R13 tires. Extended wheel arches accommodated the new tires, and as an identifying mark of the GTI, a red line encircled the outline of the front grille.
The Golf GTI became a huge hit as a sport model that was also practical for everyday use, completely changing the preconception that sports driving was synonymous with pain and discomfort. This is where over 30 years of GTI history began.

The first-generation Golf GTI is a real classic, and is the forerunner of the modern hot hatch tradition. It utilizes an FF layout: a front-engine front-wheel drive system. The 1.6L straight-four engine can generate up to 108.5 BHP. Its rock-solid stability on straights, combined with its steadfast handling, make it an ever-reliable choice. The Golf's styling is the work of the acclaimed designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro. His vision has helped make it one of the most recognizable cars on the road.

The Golf I has a fresh and modern feel, with an emphasis on 'product design'. Penned by Giugiaro, it marked the end of Volkswagen's quest for a successor to the famed Beetle. The high-performance model of the Golf I is the GTi. The black plastic lips over the wide 175/70R13 tires... And the red stripe around the front grille serve as little marks of distinction... Which give it a very refined look. A child of the hot-hatch era, it remains a highly sought-after item to this day.
