Description
The Volkswagen Golf Mk2 **G60 "Edition One"** is a highly sought-after, limited-production special edition of the iconic Golf Mk2. It represents one of the final, performance-oriented flourishes of the Mk2 generation before it was replaced by the Mk3.
Below is a breakdown of what defines the G60 Edition One.
### Mechanical Specification
The core of the vehicle is its powerplant. Unlike the naturally aspirated GTI models, the G60 features a supercharged engine, which was the peak of performance for the Mk2 Golf (excluding the extremely rare Golf Limited).
* **Engine:** 1.8-liter 8-valve inline-four, equipped with a **"G-Lader" spiral-type supercharger**.
* **Power:** Produces approximately **160 bhp** and 225 Nm of torque.
* **Performance:** This setup offered significantly more torque and mid-range "punch" than the standard GTI 8v or 16v, making it a quick and agile performer.
* **Chassis:** Standard G60s came with upgraded braking systems (280mm discs) and often included ABS, reflecting the need to manage the additional power.
### Distinguishing "Edition One" Features
The "Edition One" was an appearance and trim package that separated it from the standard GTI G60. It is defined by a specific, premium aesthetic:
* **Exterior:**
* **Wheels:** Typically fitted with 15-inch **BBS RM split-rim** alloy wheels, which are a defining visual trait.
* **Glass:** "Chromolux" (heat-reflective/tinted) rear and side glass.
* **Decals:** Usually features an "Edition One" graphic on the nearside corner of the bonnet.
* **Badging:** "Wolfsburg Edition" badges, often found on the front wings in place of the side repeater indicator lights.
* **Colors:** Commonly found in Dark Burgundy Pearl (the most signature color), Schwarz Black (Black Metallic), and Pearl Grey.
* **Interior:**
* **Seats:** The interior is dominated by **Mauritius Blue** Recaro sports seats (often with electric height adjustment).
* **Trim:** This blue theme continues throughout the cabin, featuring matching blue door cards, blue carpeting, and a blue parcel shelf.
* **Finishing:** A
