When you mention “Golf”, you’re not just talking about a car; you’re evoking a wave of memories and emotions. Since its debut in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf has been much more than just a vehicle. It has become a life partner, a symbol of aspiration and progress, and an eternal witness to unforgettable moments. Together we will celebrate these first 50 years, a tribute to everything that stands the test of time and a meeting for those of us who make the Golf a life partner.
With 37 million units sold in Europe, the Golf is not only the best-selling car of all time, but a cultural phenomenon that has marked an era. Every day, for 50 years, 2,000 Golfs have been sold, accumulating a legacy of unique stories and experiences. From businessmen and artists to sportsmen and even a Pope, the Golf has been the car of choice for everyone. It has witnessed history: it marked a milestone after the fall of the Berlin Wall, being a symbol of Western culture.
This iconic vehicle has not only dominated the streets, but also the screens. It has appeared in more than 2,300 films, from The Bourne Ultimatum to Jamón, jamón, and has been a symbol of pop culture. Its impact knows no bounds and it has conquered new generations with its style and legacy. Since its birth 50 years ago until now, the Golf remains an object of desire.
Some curious facts: In 1983, the See-Golf, an amphibious car, was launched, or the fun, colourful Golf Harlequin of which only 264 units were manufactured and is a collector’s item. There were also limited editions of the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. Have you ever wondered why it is called that? It is tradition at Volkswagen to name its cars after winds and its name comes from the Gulf Stream.
