May 1983 saw Volkswagen introduce a Golf GTI Pirelli special edition to the Mark I's range, and the production run of 10,500 models sold out within six months.
Now. the GTI Pirelli is back, based this time on the latest Mark V Golf GTI and using a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine with its output tweaked to 227 horsepower.
It can be ordered now for June delivery in the UK, and costs from £22,555.
Marking the Pirelli out from the GTI pack are unique 18-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tyres, and special sports seats and Pirelli badging throughout.
