To commemorate 30 years of hot-hatch supremacy, VW has rolled out a special birthday GTI.

The North American anniversary GTI will
likely come standard with silver multi-
spoke alloy wheels, such as Europe's
optional ones (pictured above).

This European model hints at what North America — where the GTI has been around for five fewer years — could soon get for a special 25th anniversary model.

One horsepower was added for each year to Volkswagen's award-winning turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder, bringing total output up to 230.

The GTI Edition 30 features a slick matching body kit, cherry-red taillights, special badges and black 18-inch alloy wheels. A no-cost option is silver 18-inch alloys, pictured at right.

Inside are good-looking leather sports seats with the classic GTI Interlagos checkers, floor mats with red trim, plus red stitches on the steering wheel, gear-shift boot and handbrake.

And, of course, no special-edition GTI is complete without the golf-ball shift knob.

Happy birthday, GTI!
