For the engine, Volkswagen relies on a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine – a modification of the powertrain from the Golf GTI Clubsport with 221 kW (300 hp).

Through internal engine modifications, the VW engine team increased the power of the Golf GTI EDITION 50 to 239 kW (325 hp) – an additional 44 kW (60 hp) compared to the classic Golf GTI in the base configuration with 195 kW (265 hp).

The maximum torque of the EDITION 50 has been increased to 420 Nm.

By comparison: the Golf GTI Clubsport develops 400 Nm, while the Golf GTI delivers 370 Nm.

The chassis of the Golf GTI EDITION 50 has been further refined and adapted to the increased power.

A MacPherson strut front axle and a four-link rear axle form the basic layout.

Overall, the anniversary model sits 15 mm lower than the base configuration.
