from our Zeithaus Collection

Golf V Gumball
The Golf V GTI “Gumball 3000” is a true one-off that brought the GTI legend to the streets in a unique way. Initiated by Volkswagen’s marketing team, London-based designers Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, and British VW tuner Jason McLean, the GTI “Gumball” was custom-built for the lifestyle rally “Gumball 3000.” The car participated in the 2005 rally, which ran from London through several European capitals to Monte Carlo. The GTI “Gumball” features a 1,984 cm³ inline four-cylinder engine and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h with its 172 kW (240 hp).
