The Mark 1 Golf was introduced in 1974 as a front wheel drive hatchback and as a replacement for the original Volkswagen Beetle, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design with a rather sharp angular look.
In 1975 a sports-oriented variant of the Volkswagen Golf, called the Golf GTI was introduced in March of that year at the Frankfurt Motor Show as a hot version powered by a 1781cc four-cylinder engine fed by a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, which helped it develop a respectable 110 PS aided by a kerbweight of just 810kg.
The Cabriolet version followed in 1980 It had a reinforced body, transverse roll bar, and a high level of trim, and kept the pre-1980 style of rear lamp clusters. The Mk1 Cabriolet is of unibody construction built entirely at the factory of Karmann, from stamping to final assembly; Volkswagen supplied the engine, suspension, interior, etc. for Karmann to install. The vinyl or cloth tops were heavily insulated and manually - or beginning in 1991, electrically - operated, with a heated glass rear window.
Prior to the 1984 model year the highest standard specification Cabriolet was the GLI, which was essentially a GTI in all but name. It was only in late 1983 with the introduction of the 1984 model that an officially badged GTI version of the cabriolet finally became available.
The Mark 1 Golf was replaced by a Mark II model in 1983, but the Cabriolet version produced by Karmann continued with the Mark I shell until 1993 and the Golf Mark 3.
