A while ago I thought, since the Golf GTI has been around for exactly 45 years, I should put all the known models (specials included) and make a stat chart. Since I don't know how to calculate some cars' times, I had to improvise on a few acceleration times. Here's every model from the generation 1 to 6:

Year ------ Model ------------ Power ---- 0-100 ---- 0-160 ---- 0-200 ---- V/MAX ---- Weight1976 -- Golf I GTI (1) ---- 110 PS ---- 10,0s -- 26,0s ----------- x ------- 185 km/h ----- 875 kg1981 -- Golf I GTI 16S -- 136 PS ----- 7,5s -- <24,0s ----- 50,0s ------ 209 km/h ---- 900 kg1982 -- Golf I GTI (2) ---- 112 PS ----- 9,0s ---- 24,7s -------- x -------- 187 km/h ----- 880 kg
