Volkswagen announced on Monday that the Golf 8 GTI Jacara Edition is now available in SA.

The brainchild of Gunhild Liljequist — the first woman to work in the Volkswagen design department — Clark Plaid made its debut in the first Golf GTI that launched back in 1976. Since then it has become something of a cult favourite with GTI fans all over the world.
The new Golf 8 GTI Jacara Edition is now available at Volkswagen dealers and retails for R716,500 — R16,700 less than the current Golf GTI fitted with leather seats as standard.
