Golf GTi Pirelli Edition

Bit later than the rest of Europe but its here now, not sure if it will be available in other colours.

 

Basically Edition 30 spec (230PS) with the new alloys and seats that have the same tread pattern as the tyres.

 

Price £22,500

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that special editions aren't really all that *special* these days?

[Jim 2]

Indeed. But then.. looking at it, it offers more than the Corrado Storm did back in the day!

seats that have the same tread pattern as the tyres.

 

so that would be black with lines in them then ? :lol: what a joke! a special edition by a tyre manufacturer should at least have something related to what the company does, maybe a better handling golf or lower or anything except differnt seats! probably doenst even have pirelli rubber on the new wheels either!

True, but then they only made 500 Storms 8) Not sure how many 'Pirelli' cars will be rolled out.

Probably 50 :D

But yeah, a different seat cover??? Bit lame. Maybe a slightly diff exhaust config??

Apparently all will come fitted with Pirelli P-Zero's. Just also discovered that Volkswagen UK currently has no plans to import the car - not really surprising considering that they have still to sell all the Edition 30's that were available.

:lol:

 

then again my bro has an astra coupe edition 100 and thats more or less the same idea as a storm, alloys, leather, paint.

 

i'd rather buy the lesser model if the engine is the same and buy my own alloys and interior

Load of crap.

i don't really like the seats either, there is too much plastic on modern seats, they almost like a kids seat/toy

Yep, 'special' just seems to mean different alloys, seats, bit of trim and thats it. All of which you could do yourself for alot cheaper than the extra pounds they stick-on the standard price.

 

To be honest would anyone recognise it as a Pirelli Edition if it passed you in the street? :?
