2008 Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion
Volkswagen will be firing off the next salvo of its BlueMotion offensive at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt. In total, six new models with technology that is as economical as it is environmentally-friendly, will debut at the world’s largest car show. One of the highlights there: The new Golf BlueMotion. At just 4.5 litres of diesel per 100 km (62.8 mpg), its fuel consumption has been reduced by a full 0.6 litres compared to the original model. Similarly, CO2 emissions have been reduced from 135 g/km to 119 g/km. Actions taken on the BlueMotion make it so efficient that now distances of more than 1,200 km (745 miles) are possible on just one Golf tank of fuel (55 litres).

Heralded as the first truly affordable German engineered sports sedan, the model quickly won fans with its combination of performance and hatchback practicality. In 2007, for the first time ever in the U.S. market, a four-door GTI is available.
So endearing was the GTI, and so enduring is its legacy, that whole generations who never experienced the original recognize those three letters—G-T-I—as forever linked to the Volkswagen that earlier generations affectionately called the “pocket rocket.”
