Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – October 8, 2025 – Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has officially pulled the covers off a highly anticipated and exclusive model, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Sepang Edition. This limited-run variant of the iconic Mk8 Golf GTI pays homage to Malaysia’s rich motorsport legacy and proudly bears the official insignia of the legendary Sepang International Circuit (SIC) – a first for any car in the country.

Priced from RM262,990 (on-the-road, without insurance), the Golf GTI Sepang Edition offers Malaysian enthusiasts a unique blend of exhilarating performance and exclusive aesthetics, making it a true collector’s item. Available in striking Atlantic Blue and aggressive King’s Red, this special edition is now ready for order, complete with Volkswagen’s comprehensive Assurance Package (VAP) offering 7 years free maintenance, 5 years unlimited mileage warranty, and 5 years complimentary roadside assistance.

A Tribute to Speed: Exclusive Design Elements

The Sepang Edition distinguishes itself through a series of bespoke design features, meticulously crafted to evoke the spirit of the racetrack. While retaining the formidable performance of the standard CKD Mk8 GTI, the enhancements are predominantly visual, elevating its sporty appeal.

“The Golf GTI has always been synonymous with performance and driving pleasure,” commented a VPCM spokesperson at the launch event. “With the Sepang Edition, we wanted to create something truly special for our Malaysian customers, a car that not only performs but also tells a story of our nation’s passion for motorsport. The collaboration with Sepang International Circuit is a testament to this shared heritage.”

Key exclusive features include:

  • SIC/Sepang Emblems: Proudly displayed on the rear tailgate and B-pillar, the unique ‘Sepang Edition’ emblems with a UV Gloss finish underscore its exclusivity.
  • Distinctive Wheels: The 18-inch Richmond alloy wheels are finished in a sophisticated Gunmetal Grey Matte, complemented by dynamic “GTI” wheel hub caps.
  • Aggressive Black Accents: A contrasting black roof, front spoiler, rear diffuser, and side skirts provide a more commanding and aggressive visual stance, reminiscent of track-ready machines.
  • Motorsport-Inspired Decals: Sporty side decorative film and racing stripes further enhance its competitive edge.
  • Subtle Details: Black side mirror caps and an exclusive Sepang Edition base plate complete the exterior transformation.

Interior Touches and Added Value

Inside, drivers will find bespoke ‘GTI’ floor mats, adding to the cabin’s unique identity. Furthermore, each Sepang Edition comes equipped with a factory-fitted Universal Traffic Recorder 2.0 (Front & Rear), featuring advanced Sony Starvis night-vision sensors, backed by a 5-year warranty for this specific model. Owners will also receive a special gift box containing a custom key holder and a Certificate of Authenticity, solidifying the car’s limited-edition status.

Unleashed Performance: The Heart of a GTI

Underneath its exclusive skin, the Golf GTI Sepang Edition remains a true hot hatch. It retains the potent 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged inline-four engine, delivering an exhilarating 245 PS (242 hp) and a robust 370 Nm of torque. Mated to a quick-shifting 7-speed wet dual-clutch DSG automatic transmission and featuring front-wheel drive with an XDS electronic differential lock, the Sepang Edition sprints from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 6.3 – 6.4 seconds.

“The Golf GTI Sepang Edition is more than just a car; it’s a celebration,” added the VPCM representative. “It’s for those who appreciate the legacy of the GTI and have a deep connection to Malaysia’s motorsport spirit. We are confident it will be a resounding success.”

With its unique blend of heritage, style, and performance, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Sepang Edition stands ready to carve out its own legend on Malaysian roads.
