    Volkswagen has launched the 40th Anniversary Edition of the 2023 Golf GTI in the US market to commemorate a successful run of four decades of the model. The hot hatch is offered in two exclusive paint schemes: Tornado Red and Urano Gray. Only 1,500 units of the car will be produced. The vehicle is powered by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged petrol engine.

    It is backed by a 241hp, 2.0-liter engine

    The Golf GTI 40th Anniversary Edition draws power from a 2.0-liter, inline-four, turbocharged petrol engine that is mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG gearbox. The mill generates 241hp of maximum power and 370Nm of peak torque.

    It features 'Scalepaper Plaid' fabric upholstery and leather-wrapped steering wheel

    Inside, the Golf GTI 40th Anniversary Edition has a spacious five-seater cabin and features a minimalist dashboard, a GTI-specific 'Scalepaper Plaid' fabric upholstery, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with a "40" logo, automatic climate control, and sporty pedals.
