Wolfsburg:

Volkswagen in Wolfsburg produced the 25 millionth Golf on Friday, March 23. The anniversary vehicle is a Golf Sportline 1.4 l TSI in tornado red with a power output of 103 kW (140 hp) and dual clutch transmission.

Plant Manager Dietmar Korzekwa said: "Twenty-five million Golf in 33 years - that is an outstanding achievement of which we can all be proud. Fifteen million Golf have been built in Wolfsburg alone. My thanks go to all employees for their commitment - day in, day out - over many years to ensuring we can withstand ever-tougher global competition. Together, we will continue the Golf success story."

As the anniversary Golf left the assembly line Bernd Osterloh, chairman of the Group and General Works Councils, commented: "Twenty-five million Golf is also a symbol of the extraordinary performance of our colleagues. Their high-quality work - as an engineer or a production line worker - has made our Golf a long-lasting success that has brought employment and a future to many regions of the world."
