Perhaps the best hot hatch ever has been brought up to date. All the details on the new 205 GTI Tolman Edition right here 👇
If the idea of sympathetically updating a classic car is no longer anything new, then the approach has surely taken on fresh significance with petrol cars seemingly not long for this world. Why buy a new and very capable performance car if a classic can be brought up to modern standards while retaining its old-school charm?
In the best restomod tradition, nothing is left untouched in creating a Tolman Edition from a 205. Beginning with a freshly prepped bare shell, each GTI is treated to the very best in anti-corrosion and stone chip protection to keep it looking top notch. From there more than 700 hours are spent adding the Tolman Edition upgrades; each will be unique, too, with options and choices available for every buyer.
For the chassis, Tolman tweaks the Bilstein dampers and fits its own adjustable bottom arms and rear anti-roll bar. It claims turn-in is crisper as a result, with a ‘more predictable, progressive and controllable’ rear end as well - good to know as far as a 205 GTI is concerned. Every Edition will have power steering, Michelin Youngtimer PE2 tyres and Tolman’s transmission tweaks for a better shift, which means a gearbox rebuild with better shift rods and bushes.
