The Volkswagen Golf Mk1, produced from 1974 to 1983 (though production continued elsewhere), was a front-wheel-drive, front-engined replacement for the Beetle. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, it marked a significant shift for Volkswagen.
Its successor was the Volkswagen Golf Mk2.
A little-known story: VW initially struggled to name the Golf. They considered names linked to winds, like "Blizzard" and "Scirocco," but ultimately chose "Golf," inspired by the Gulf Stream.
