VW Golf Gti Mk2 1983

What is your favorite car of all time?

The first change to the Golf Gti took place in 1983 with the introduction of the Mark 2 model. More rounded in shape than the original, perhaps the most obvious visual difference was the twin-headlight grille, although this had been a feature of the last of the Mk1 Gti's, the Campaign model. The still 1.8-litre engine now had a peak torque figure of 114ft-lbs at 3,100 rpm, its 112bhp being achieved at 5500rpm instead of 5800rpm. Disc brakes were now fitted all-round. Two years later a second Gti was added to the model line up in the form of the 139bhp 16V.
