A camouflaged model was on display at the CES in Las Vegas and will be presented on January 24 – with large screens and even ChatGPT on board: The VW Golf is getting a major update. After all, he is celebrating his 50th birthday this year! The fact that the icon exists at all is thanks to a Viennese.
An incredible 36.23 million copies sold. This puts it at number 3 on the “eternal best list” behind the Toyota Corolla and Ford F-Pick-up. For us, the VW Golf topped the new registrations for 41 years. Hardly anyone in Austria has not been in a Golf. For many it was their first car. Even for your own father.
When I was 18, it had just hit the market in 1974. “A Golf L, blue, with 50 hp,” Alfred Burgstaller remembers, “maybe even that was too powerful.” The last stop was later in a field. But the Gulf would find unexpected strength in the fifty years that followed. Its creation was already a risk.
