Modern meets old school in this latest BBS VW Golf GTIConcept.

So, you have placed your order for your brand-spanking-new Volkswagen Golf GTI and now you’re scouring the internet for inspiration to make your GTI stand out from the crowd. Well, perhaps this BBS VW Golf GTI Concept will provide the inspiration you need!

German wheel design house, BBS, has collaborated with Volkswagen to create this BBS Golf GTI Concept which tips its hat to the 1984 Mk2 Golf GTI with some retro styling mods. Perhaps the most striking feature of this concept are the gold 19-inch BBS Super RS wheels with a waffle and hex pattern shod with Delinte 235/35/19 D7 rubber and complemented with impactful yellow fog lights seen in the lower bumper section. But that’s not all, the look is finished off with red and black livery on the bonnet as well as a red and black pinstripe down the flanks of the BBS GTI as well as BBS decals seen on the C-pillars.

The interior has been left unchanged and no mechanical modifications have been made to the engine, which means the 2.0-litre turbopetrol engine produces the standard 180 kW and 370 Nm. The BBS GTI has been lowered somewhat thanks to an H&R coil-over suspension which also allows the wheel camber to be adjusted.

Do you like the look of this BBS GTI or do you think the standard Golf GTI has enough kerb appeal in standard form?
