VW Golf y Rabbit: libros - historia y modelos

Volkswagen Golf - Les modèles depuis 1974

Since its creation in 1974, the Golf commissioned by Volkswagen from the Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, has continued to delight lovers of quality mechanics, fans of recreational sports cars and all those who want to choose without making a mistake.

Through seven generations of Golf, this book revisits the history of one of the best-selling cars in the world: 35 million to date. This automotive icon has shone with its road qualities, but also seduced with its versatility. Indeed, the Golf is the only production car to have been at the same time an economical diesel, a 360 horsepower super-sports car, a convertible, a saloon, an estate, a 4x4... without ever losing its soul or its style for almost half a century.

Volkswagen Golf 1 - Le vent du renouveau (Top Model)

In 1974, the Golf concentrated a high level of technology; quality safety features and undeniable practical aspects, with its two or four doors and its tailgate. The risk was measured for Wolfsburg, because all the technical part was taken from models that had already had their illnesses. The lines, designed by Giugiaro, were classic and dynamic, but did not offend the clientele.
Success was not long in coming. With the Golf, Volkswagen had finally entered the modern era with a bang. Its qualities quickly made the new kid on the block the number one in the C segment. It inspired the competition and would very quickly become the one to dethrone. Its image would seduce many markets. Available as a saloon with a trunk, it took the name Jetta.

The Golf having replaced the Beetle, it was normal to derive a convertible from it... Still produced by Karmann, this one has a fixed roll bar and provides space for the rear occupants. On the light utility side, the Golf also stands out, with a panel version then a pick-up that will outlive the three and five-door versions by almost ten years.
Versatile, the Golf transforms as easily into an accomplished sports car, the GTI, as into a champion of economy in performance, with its Diesel then turbo Diesel versions.

Over the years, the little Volkswagen has forged a "concrete" image that will only continue to last and grow from generation to generation. At a time when the Golf 1 and its derivatives are entering the world of collecting, it was essential to look at its rich history and offer the most complete synthesis possible.

Volkswagen Golf GTI (1979-1992) - Essential Buyer's Guide

Charts the models that an enthusiast has to own, from the iconic late model Mk I with its pocket rocket 1.8-litre engine and 5-speed box, through to the exclusive, extremely powerful and much sought after limited edition Rallye Golf. With both mileage and particularly condition having a marked affect on potential prices, the authors give sound advice on what is worth restoring and what, however tempting, is likely to cost a new owner an un-recoupable fortune.
Weak points, rust traps, and potential mechanical defects are laid out for the reader, with clear Golf-specific guidelines offered on the practicalities of rectifying such problems. The authors also embrace both the customized and mechanically modified examples of the Mk I and Mk II GTI, with each aspect of Golf ownership meticulously captured on camera.

Volkswagen Golf GTI

When Volkswagen launched the Golf GTI, over thirty years ago, it could hardly have known the impact its compact and sporty model would have on the car-buying public. Through an uncertain birth to its class-topping iconic status of today, rarely does a new model of car make a whole new market segment for itself but the Golf was the original hot hatch, a car that others would copy but seldom equal.

This book details every mark of GTI. Many archive images.

Das grosse VW-GTI-Buch (Reprint)

When some employees in the VW development department began to develop their idea of a sporty version of the VW Golf in 1973, none of them suspected that this car would one day give its name to an entire vehicle class.
The magical abbreviation "GTI" became the symbol of a new driving experience, standing for the combination of power, fascination, reliability and affordable price.

This book not only tells the story of the meteoric rise of the Golf GTI. The authors also give a voice to the fan community that the Sport Golf has gathered around it like no other car in modern automotive history.
They try to convey some of the fascination that surrounds the car with the beloved three letters, and also give an insight into future developments. Of course, the sporting successes of the GTI are not neglected either.
