Return of the Mac! Mk1 Golf

Amazing....Volkswagen of South Africa are building a 'new' version of the Mk1 Golf GTi!!! Mad eh!!! It's been 'dubbed' the CitiGolf R-Line, and the shell is classic Mk1, just updated inside!! It has a 1.8 litre engine, nothing special, especially with a bhp figure of around 120. But it's trying to be as close to the original as poss, so you can't really expect them to go putting in an R32 lump!!! (Not such a bad idea though :D) The 0-60mph is about 8 and a half secs, and it'll top 110mph, again not special by today's standards, but that's not the point really.

What's it going to look like inside then? The dashboard is the one out the Fabia, so you have quality there, including a CD player, not bad!!! Only things that it differs from on the outside, are the back lights, badging, and it has two extra doors!!!! Here's the catch: there are only going to be 100 built (of the R-Line). But there will be a standard 1.8, so it's not all doom and gloom.
