When the first VW Golf GTI initially sprung from the laboratories at Wolfsburg, Volkswagen had no idea it had invented an entire new class of automobile. In the 35 years since, the VW Golf GTI has become a legend, the standard to which all other sporty compact cars judge themselves. To celebrate this anniversary GTI35 […]

German Mercedes-Benz specialized tuner Carlsson updates its Super GT with a C25 Royale treatment, updating the exclusive package with carbon fiber roof and exterior, optimized driving dynamics and perfected electronics.
