Mk1 Golf T-Shirt

The Mk1 Golf was built to be the Beetle's successor at the time as sales of the Beetle were dropping significantly. With the combined teamwork of engineers from many brands, this new model at the time proved to be just as loved as the original Beetle.

The Mk1 Golf was a simple hatchback body style combined with front wheel drive, and a transverse mounted water cooled four cylinder front-engine which would be the inspiration for every car manufacturer around the world. Although initially they wanted to create a compact family car that was as packaging efficient as possible, they did follow up later with adding a full-size trunk and creating the "Jetta." A five door version of the Golf quickly followed, as well as cabriolets, and pick-up trucks. Since the Golf/Rabbit was intended to be a small family car, the engine choices reflected this. In Europe, engines started with a 1.1L, but North American models got a 1.5L, as well as a 1.5L diesel version. Well known as a Mk1 Golf, it was also referred to as the "Rabbit" in the US because it was meant to be small and nimble, and "Golf" sounded too upscale for a car aimed for young buyers.

We chose to illustrate this modified green Mk1 Golf to showcase the original body style, as well as the modern style modifications we see now-a-days.
