| | #REDIRECT [[Volkswagen Golf GTI]] |
| The name ''GTI'' was first used in 1976, in reference to [[Volkswagen]]'s high-performance trim level of the [[Volkswagen Golf|Golf]] (known as the [[Volkswagen Rabbit|Rabbit]] when it debuted in North America in 1975).

While a GTI was released for the 2006 model year, [[Volkswagen]] redesigned the car in early 2006, calling it the "New GTI."
