Volkswagen Golf II 1983 posters


Volkswagen Golf II GTI [UK]

The Volkswagen Golf II GTI [UK] showed a more expansive design than its predecessor, as its wheelbase was 75 mm longer, track width at the front was increased by 23 mm and at the back by 50 mm, giving the vehicle a total length of 3.99 m and width of 1.42 m. Moreover, the passenger space between the accelerator pedal and the rear seat back had grew up to 1,837 mm, while front and rear elbow room was 92 mm and 112 mm wider respectively. Even with the four-door model, the increase in passenger room was 120 mm. The vehicle also made substantial impact in its class by introducing the regulated catalytic converter in 1984, ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) in 1986, and the first ever all-wheel drive system in the class (Syncro) in the same year. Even four years later in 1989, Volkswagen was unveiling prototypes of the Golf with electric and hybrid drive systems. In response to the American demands for notchback vehicles, Volkswagen sent the Jetta, a saloon car sister model of the Golf, to the United States in 1985. Sure enough, this vehicle soon became the most successful car of a German producer on the American market.
