Basic information and history

The Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport S was launched in 2016 as a strictly two-seater, track-focused anniversary model with a limited edition. The model is the first Golf to be marked with a construction number. The model built on the GTI's well-known chassis technology with extensive fine-tuning for track driving sessions, including reduced weight with the rear seat removed, special chassis layout and more efficient aerodynamics. The edition was limited to 400 examples globally, and the model attracted attention with its focused driving feel and high endurance in hard driving. The number built refers to the fact that the GTi brand celebrated 40 years in 2016, and also set a record for "hatchbacks" on the Nordslingan circuit in the same year with an impressive time of 7:49.21. This year the GTi brand celebrates 50 years, which makes the sale of this example a little extra fun!

According to the seller, this example is a Clubsport S with an extremely low odometer reading of 3,935 kilometers , and the odometer reading is said to be guaranteed. The car is a numbered edition, number 291 of 400. According to the seller, the car was purchased new via an auction on Tradera where the surplus went to BRIS, and the car was picked up from Volkswagen in Stockholm in the presence of BRIS management who thanked for the contribution. This example is one of four Clubsport S sold in Sweden, and the only one sold in red.

The example thus originates from a documented context with clear provenance, and the seller's description is supported by full history and accompanying documentation.
