Volkswagen Golf GTI Pirelli Edition

Harking back to the 80s and marking the end of production of the celebrated Mk5 GTI, VW and Pirelli partnered up once more to create the ultimate special edition.

This beautifully presented 2009 GTI Pirelli Edition is one of just 222 ever built and has covered just 63k miles in the last 15 years.

To the casual observer, this may appear to be just regular GTI with a set of wheels (and some additional colour-coded bodywork), but the subtle Pirelli badging on the boot lid and one-off wheels tell the true story. Satisfyingly, the car is also shod with a set of Pirelli P-Zero Nero tyres, too.

The interior is arguably the real centrepiece with those incredible tyre-tread pattern seats with yellow stitching, and yellow stitched leather steering wheel and shifter boot. The condition is of the same excellent standard as the exterior.

Pirelli and VW didn’t just make the changes skin deep either. The final upgrade comes in the form of a power boost of 30bhp bringing the total to an impressive figure of 227bhp which you definitely notice.

In addition to the Pirelli enhancements, the spec of this stunning Golf also includes part-electric and heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a new Pioneer radio, and the legendary DSG auto/tiptronic gearbox.

Fresh from a major service and supplied with new NCT, this is a very impressive example of a true limited edition Volkswagen that strikes a perfect balance of practicality, comfort and real world performance.
