This Golf GTI 1600 was prepared for modern rally racing in Italy in 2003 as a Group 2 version by renowned specialist Andrea Zanghellini. Keeping the same configuration, it was later used in Italy in historic VHC rallies. As part of its preparation, the car was fitted with an FIA-compliant rollbar (with certificate on file) and its interior was completely stripped down and refitted with bucket seats and harnesses. With two Weber 40 carburettors, the engine is in Group 2 configuration and develops around 160 hp. Coupled with a self-locking axle, the gearbox is a rare, high-performance Zanghellini Group 2 version with short ratios. The front braking system features rare Lockheed callipers.

 

Equipped with a headlight ramp and its vintage Italian HTP (Historic Technical Passport), this Group 2 Golf GTI is eligible for the finest historic rallies, including the Tour de Corse. With its genuine period preparation, easy maintenance, high performance in its class for a reasonable budget and very rare in this configuration, this is an excellent car to indulge your passion for rallying at the wheel of a serious competitor.
