A unique exhibition: “
” The exhibition showcases how the GTI has become a collector’s item, surrounded by all the objects and references that will take us on a journey through the five decades of this icon’s history. A journey through the eight generations of the Golf—from the first to the latest—surrounded by all the cultural elements that defined each era, and a final surprise that will take us into the future of the GTI.
But there’s more: entertainment areas and activities as varied as a mural painting session or Scalextric—which, of course, couldn’t be missing—or simulators where you can try to set the best lap time.
You can also stop by the official store, packed with limited-edition GTI merchandise available exclusively during this event; or round out the festive experience in the food truck area—because you can’t leave without trying Volkswagen’s authentic and delicious currywurst sausages.
What’s more, against this backdrop of excitement and fun, the new ID Polo GTI—the first GTI with a 100% electric motor— will make its Spanish debut . It’s all about enjoying the brand’s sporty DNA like never before.
It’ll be a great opportunity to experience your passion for this car in a whole new way, as if time had stood still. Don’t miss it!
