Volkswagen’s GTI name comes with a lot of history, and one of the most important cars to wear the badge was Mk2 Golf GTI, which refined the formula created by the original. Now, 29 years after its discontinuation, Volkswagen and Philadelphia-based VW enthusiast Jamie Orr have collaborated to make a Mk2-inspired Mk8 Golf GTI.
Dubbed the “GTI BBS Concept”, on top of its retro BBS red and black livery, the car of course wears BBS wheels. To be more specific, it rides on a set of 19×9 BBS Super RS’s which feature the iconic multispoke design in silver and gold.
In addition to those upgrades, the car is lowered on H&R coilovers, the fronts of which were redesigned to add camber adjustment. Rounding off the modifications is a Borla exhaust, the first one designed for the new GTI, which Orr describes as “just a step beyond” the stock system.
