The excitement is palpable as the GTI fan festival, a much-anticipated event for automobile enthusiasts, gears up to open its doors from 26-28 July 2024.

A special offering includes the Experience Tickets, granting a 150-minute driving session in various high-performance Volkswagen models at the Ehra testing facility near Wolfsburg.

Imelda Labbé, a key figure on Volkswagen's Board of Management responsible for Sales, Marketing, and After Sales, emphasized the festival's fan-centric nature. "The GTI Fanfest is a celebration by and for the fans. Their passion for Volkswagen and automotive culture is what truly shapes this event," Labbé stated. With an expected turnout of up to 35,000 attendees from across the globe, the festival promises an array of activities tailored to fan suggestions. Highlights include personalized footwear by a shoe designer who shares a passion for GTI, allowing attendees to purchase or customize sneakers on-site.

The festival will not only showcase cars but also introduce a new GTI lifestyle collection and feature a parade through Volkswagen's Wolfsburg factory. A diverse display of GTI models from all eight generations of the Golf will be present, alongside versions of the Polo GTI, up! GTI, and even a glimpse into Volkswagen's electric future with the sporty GTX versions of its ID. family and the ID. GTI Concept. Influencer JP Performance is set to exhibit his 'Super-Golf' and 'Thunder Bunny', adding to the community cars and special Volkswagen show cars on display.

Entertainment at the event includes a DJ, live music, food trucks, and Volkswagen's famous currywurst, ensuring a memorable experience for all attendees. The festival also serves as an opportunity for GTI and R drivers to test their engines at a mobile testing stand set up in the community car park.

Volkswagen's global presence is underscored by its production facilities in 29 locations across 12 countries. In 2023, approximately 4.9 million vehicles were delivered by Volkswagen, including popular models like the Polo, T-Roc, T-Cross, Golf, Tiguan, Passat, and its successful all-electric ID. family.
