What is the name of the 35th anniversary edition of the Golf GTI released in 2011?

The 35th-anniversary edition of the Golf GTI, released in 2011, was called the Golf GTI Edition 35.

The Edition 35 celebrated 35 years since the original Golf GTI appeared in 1976. It was based on the sixth-generation Golf GTI and received distinctive styling details, including special badging, unique wheels and interior trim. Its engine was upgraded to produce about 235 PS, making it more powerful than the standard Mk6 GTI.

A common mix-up is the Golf GTI Edition 30, which commemorated the model’s 30th anniversary in 2006. “Golf GTI 35th Anniversary” describes the occasion but was not the official model name. The Edition 35 occupied a place between the regular GTI and the more powerful Golf R in Volkswagen’s performance range.
