GALLERY: Volkswagen GTI Edition 30

|

The last time we covered the Volkswagen GTI Edition 30, the info we had referred to the British model, and the only image we had was a photoshopped version of the prototype sporting new wheels. That's finally been rectified, as VW has released a full presskit with photos of the final car, along with a new release detailing the features. To recap briefly (you can catch up in full by reading the release after the jump) , the Edition 30 celebrates the 30th anniversary of the GTI and is an overseas-only affair. Under the hood is the 230-horsepower version of VW's 2.0L FSI engine (one extra pony for each year, get it?). Inside, the traditional plaid seats are bolstered with leather accents, the shifter gets a golf ball-style dimpled knob, and there's enough "Edition 30" badging to let others know that this is not the garden-variety GTI. This release also tells us that you can choose from black or silver wheels, which may or may not be the case with the UK version. Wanna see more? Check out the gallery after the jump.

As part of the 22nd Annual International Automobile Festival, a team of judges has chosen its Most Beautiful Automobiles of the World for 2007, and no, the U.S. did not come home with a trunk of gold medals in this competition. We Americans will just have to be content with our two silvers.
