At the sidelines of the launch of the 2024 VW Touareg here in Malaysia today, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) confirms that a special edition Golf GTI to celebrate the model's 50th anniversary will be introduced here later this year. Take note however that GTI was specifically mentioned. Looking at VW's overseas line-up, there is a Golf Edition 50 – but this is however a non-GTI model, which are not available in Malaysia anymore.

Back in the early 90s, if you wanted to buy a performance car, you’d most probably choose the manual transmission option.
