We’ve got our hands on EVERY generation of Volkswagen Golf GTI, and they’re about to go head-to-head in an epic drag race!

We’ve split it into two heats - the Mk 1, 2, 3 & 4 in the first heat, after which we’ll have a second race with the 5, 6, 7 and 8.5 to see just how the Golf GTI has evolved over the years!

It all starts with the Mk 1. It's powered by a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder that produces 110hp and 140Nm of torque. This power is sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual, and the car weighs in at just 810kg. When it was new, it cost around £6,500.

The line-up then goes up to the new Mk 8.5 edition. This is powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo that puts down 265hp and 370Nm. This power is directed to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it weighs 1,391kg. As new, the car costs around £39,000.

So the newer car is likely to win, but will any of the older models spring a surprise? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
