Anticipation is half the pleasure. And when the international GTI family comes together, the pleasure is all the greater. “The three letters GTI are legendary in the automotive world. And the GTI Treffen event has also become a cult event over the decades. It is important to us that we offer the international GTI community a new home in Wolfsburg, the heart of our brand,” says Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen brand. “I am particularly pleased that we will be holding the first large GTI meet in a new format in Wolfsburg exactly 50 years after the first Golf left the assembly line in Wolfsburg. GTI community, Golf and Wolfsburg – the perfect fit!”
A party created for fans and by fans. For three days, the area around the Volkswagen Arena will be transformed into a GTI Fan City. More than 700 GTI and R owners will present their vehicles and their history. Prominent GTI fans, such as Volkswagen’s Head of Design Andreas Mindt, or motorsport legends Benny Leuchter, Strietzel Stuck and Jochi Kleint, will be on site and share their very personal GTI anecdotes with the community in expert talks. Sarah Elsser and car enthusiast and tuning expert Philipp Kaess will participate in Wolfsburg as a presenter duo. There is already a huge amount of anticipation as visitors from all over the world are expected. Numerous model highlights from almost 50 years of GTI history. In September 1975, Volkswagen presented the first Golf GTI at the IAA – it was the beginning of a success story spanning decades.
