Build an automotive icon in the form of the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk1) model in 1:12 scale. This COBI building set offers 1,743 pieces, opening doors, hood and trunk, working steering linked to the front wheels, and a detailed interior and engine. Thanks to printed parts instead of stickers, the model looks great even after years, and in the Executive edition you also get a display stand with the model designation.
1:12 scale and display stand (Executive edition)
The large Volkswagen Golf GTI model in 1:12 scale is ideal for a collection and for a shelf. The Executive edition includes a presentation stand with the model designation, which highlights the body details and the overall build.
Opening parts and detailed engine
The model has an opening hood with a visibly recreated engine underneath. The realistic front end with the logo and details adds authenticity for display and viewing.
Working steering linked to the front wheels
For an even more true-to-life experience, the build includes a steering mechanism – turning the steering wheel is linked to the rotation of the front wheels. A great feature for fans of engineering and detailed models.
Return to the era when the term “hot hatch” was born. The first-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI (1976–1983) became a phenomenon thanks to the combination of low weight, front-wheel drive, and a sporty character – and now you can build this legend from COBI bricks as a realistic collector’s model.
The model is made in 1:12 scale and focuses on faithful body and cabin details. It features a refined interior, an engine recreation under the hood, and functional parts that make both building and displaying a true experience.
