1989 Volkswagen Golf Rallye by Matt Crooke

This unique 1989 Volkswagen Golf Rallye is owned by seasoned VW enthusiast Matt Crooke. Known as a homologation special, the Golf Rallye was one of the rarest Volkswagen models ever produced, with only 5,071 units manufactured to compete in the World Rally Championship. This particular example previously served as a demo vehicle for NGP Performance and later featured in PVW Magazine. Under the hood, the original 1.8-liter supercharged engine has been replaced with a more robust European 2.9-liter VR6 engine, rebuilt using Wiseco pistons, a ported and polished head, and Integrated Engineering rods. The car's performance is further enhanced by an Innovative turbo and a 3” downpipe/exhaust, generating a powerful 350-wheel-horsepower. This Golf is visually understated yet impactful, embodying the spirit of OEM+ modifications and showcasing Super Touring-inspired wheels that reflect the understated style preferred by VW purists.
