      You will most definitely appreciate the Golf Mk1 R sold in South Africa in 2007.
      See here:
      www.car-specs.za.net/car.aspx?specs=volkswagen-citi-golf-1.8i-r-2006-11-4584
      It had a 90kW 1.8i engine with all modern car updates, including airbags, a/c, central locking, optional sunroof, etc.

    @brandonperlow9091 3 года назад +1

    It a nice redo, and your idea of retro-electrics is not a bad one. It reminds me of the Honda electric hatch that just came out we will never get. I would still rather be forward thinking and take advantage that electrics have in terms of design, and not be limited by 2-3 box design. Fronts dont need to be big. I just want to less frunks too. I also think there could be a good cooler there, something like major server setups use.

  • @charl_k
    @charl_k 3 года назад +4

    Nice. Here in South Africa the Mk1 was in production until about 2010, rebadged as the Citigolf. Your design looks similar to the final versions, with integrated bumpers and a backwards slanted nose. Check out the Citigolf 1.8iR on Wikipedia. .

    • @rashiedjohnson372
      @rashiedjohnson372 3 года назад +2

      Correct in South Africa also we had the Cti with the similar Gti engine also with modern dashboard ,rims , full front door windows , electric mirrors and refinements etc ..its very much still a cult car here with plenty after market add-ons and huge following..

    It would be cool with wider arches, a bit like the Lancia Delta Integrale, and also simplify the front door windows, i.e. remove the small triangular window in front of the side mirrors. Maybe a bit modern front bumper with some front brake cooling intakes and fog lights? 😊

  • @dk0767
    @dk0767 3 года назад

    Love your redesign! Your comments towards the end remind me of IONIQ 5, a Hyundai homage to its classic Pony Coupe in the 70's. As an owner of Mk5 Golf GTI, another classic, I would "upgrade" to something like your redesign in a heartbeat as well.

    Hey I have an interesting request for the next video: “B is for Build” is building a crazy Off-road Huracan and he is at a very interesting point in his build, but he’s missing fenders and the exterior design is non existent. Would you be willing to make a sketch or even a full design of what that Jumpacan (that’s how he’s calling it)? I think it would be an awesome video just like that of stradman’s widebody 458. Please don’t let us down🙏🏻

    When I saw the title of Your Redesign my first thoughts were "O *hit !" and "Please don't *uck it up". I am really fascinated by Your passion and skill but this car is my ultimate dream car and I could not forgive You if You would "hurt my baby" ;) . I don't know how many years I keep dreaming about getting one but they are getting more and more expensive. But ! Yesterday I bought 1991 Golf MK1 Cabriolet :D I am not kidding ! .. and I am proud as hell :D One more thing.. There is one modern car that reminds me MK1 very much, and that is Honda E especially concept model from IAA Frankfurt Motorshow 2017 - I saw it live. The main body shape is so similar to the first gen Golf - it just have this THING in very modern way. I think You've got the same feeling because You used Front lights from Honda to Your redesign ;) .. Anyway, Great Job and I would like to see redesign of back end but in black or red color ;) Greets!

    You should really drive the golf 6 GTi, it really has a soul and character.
    Especially the manual, doesn't feel digital, you can feel everything the car does, which keeps in character with the first gen Golf.
    Offcourse, the looks no longer have that much of the first, but the feel of the car is still quite iconic.
