Press Release
Celebrating its 30th birthday and five generations – a genuine original among compact cars with much power: The Golf GTI by Volkwagen. Over 1.65 million customers can’t be wrong. You can pull up with it wherever you want, but you cannot always have it with you. Volkswagen therefore offers an extensive range of GTI accessories: The selection ranges from the model car for the living room showcase to shirts with the GTI logo and on to the computer adventure game.
GTI model car – The Golf GTI model car in the scales 1:18 or 1:43 looks quite attractive at home in the showcase or on the desk in the office. Design elements typical of the GTI – such as the honeycomb radiator grill, the eye-catching rear spoiler or the brake calipers painted red – have been meticulously implemented with much affection. The smaller model is available for 21.90 € and the larger one for 31.90 € as Volkswagen accessory in the shop at www.votex-shop.de or at the Volkswagen dealer.
GTI Chronograph – The exclusive GTI GTI chronograph is quite a special accessory. Analogous to the GTI’s interior trim, the black saddle-leather wristband has been stitched with red seams. In addition, the GTI logo decorates the genuine carbon dial. This superbly crafted chronograph with its polished stainless steel housing, the quartz Miyota OS 10 clockwork and the scratch-resistant mineral glass does justice to the successful automobile whose name it bears. The chronograph is also part of the Votex selection and available at www.votex-shop.de for 199.00 €.
GTI Computer Racing Game – This GTI Racing PC game offers a perfect blend of driving pleasure and realism. For 39.90 €, all GTI fans can test the five GTI generations in more than 70 racing situations. Six environments and many different track objects can be set. Even tuning can be performed on the PC: For example, cars can be retrofitted with additional turbochargers, more powerful brake systems, racing transmissions with a shorter gear ratio or optical tuning elements. This action-packed game can be ordered in the Votex-Shop at www.votex-shop.de.
GTI Outfits – The sporty red or trendy white GTI T-shirts with V-neck and GTI lettering on the left sleeve are an obligatory summer accessory for all GTI fans at the price of 8,90 €.
The GTI rugby shirt in black with long sleeves and red GTI lettering across the chest is recommended for cooler days; it costs 19.90 €. Both models are made of 100% cotton and are available at the Volkswagen shop of the Wolfsburg plant; a catalog with additional accessories can be mailed upon request by calling ++49 5361/9-73993.
Also available at the Volkswagen shop: GTI plastic ballpoint pens (1.00 €) or pens with high-quality silver-colored metal housing and black rubberized grip section (5.50 €), a tornado-red GTI pin (1.50 €) or a keyring pendant in GTI design (3.30 €) made of silver-colored matt-finished metal with red lettering.
