Volkswagen Ends Golf Mk1 Production With Citi Golf Mk1 Limited Edition

For those of you who didn’t know, Volkswagen has been producing the Mk1 Golf in South Africa all this time. Only in South Africa, and a slightly modified version called the Citi Golf, but nonetheless. Now, they will be stopping production, and as a good bye to the Mk1, Volkswagen will be producing a Citi Golf Mk1 Limited Edition.

It will be fitted with a 1.6L engine putting out 160hp. The colour choice will be either black or shadow blue metallic, no other colours are offered. Only 1,000 will be made.

Rumours say that the Citi Golf will be replaced by the Volkswagen Gol (No, I didn’t mean Golf, it’s called the Gol), a cheap supermini which is very popular in South America.

Volkswagen Polo R May be Produced

Volkswagen has a range of R cars, which currently consists of the Golf R and Scirocco R. Both are quite good looking, and come with the punch to match those looks.  Now there are reports coming in stating that in a few years, a Polo R will appear.

According to these reports, it should have a turbocharged 1.4L TSI engine putting out 190hp. The top speed is expected to be around 230kph (About 143mph), and it should cost around 27,000 Euros.

I’m not too sure if I’d be interested in such a thing, and even so, I believe the North American market doesn’t get any of the R cars, which is a shame, as I quite like the Scirocco R and the Golf R. I reckon it should be a good car though, just don’t know if I personally would want one.
