VW USA made a R-GTI Concept in 2006 // Fully custom body kit + Carbon Fiber all the things!

Back in 2006, Volkswagen's new facility in California, along with other departments at the company, built and released this wild Golf GTI Concept at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

With lots of custom and bespoke pieces dotted around the car, there's much more to find on it than just the big front bumper. And that flat black finish? That was a later change, after the car had been driven by the press and others on the roads and tracks across the USA.

After that, the car was thankfully kept alive and saved, albeit tucked away, gathering the dust that you see on it today (and more - it rained while I was transporting it!).
