This Week, Volkswagen Announced That It Will No Longer Produce Cars for Its Gol Line and Launches a Final Edition That Honors the Others

Volkswagen will cease production of cars from the Gol line after 42 years of history. As a farewell, the brand launched a model that pays tribute to the most famous cars it has ever manufactured for the Gol. Its Last Edition will have only 1,000 units and even honors the orbital wheel.

The Volkswagen Gol is the best-selling car in Brazil, with over 8 million units produced, and was the sales leader for 27 years. The 1,000 units of its final edition have already begun to be distributed to dealerships, and the brand claims it will not make a larger run, as it did with the Kombi Last Edition in 2013.

What Are the Main Models Honored and How Will the Volkswagen Gol Last Edition Bring This Nostalgia?

Volkswagen did not attempt to reproduce the same performance as the Gol GT, GTS, and GTi but activates the memory of its fans with visual elements. The black stripe painted on the rear connecting the taillights originated with the Gol GT in 1984, just as the Recaro seats inspired the gray fabric that covers the seats.

The famous orbital wheel appeared on the Gol GTi in the early 90s. This wheel is not present on the Gol Last Edition but appears in the logos that mark the C pillar. The Gol G2, better known as “Gol Bolinha,” is honored by the font in which “Gol” is written on the trunk lid.

Volkswagen Does Not Specify Engine Details for the Gol Last Edition

Volkswagen has not provided much technical information about the car. Still, it is likely to maintain the 1.0 MPI flex engine with 3 cylinders and 12 valves, generating 77 hp of power and 9.6 mkgf of torque with gasoline. With the use of ethanol, the figures rise to 84 hp and 10.4 mkgf. The engine works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Its equipment list is on par with the Gol Urban Complete. It includes air conditioning, power steering, mirrors with electric adjustment, turn signal lights, and tilt-down on the right side, onboard computer, rear parking sensor, and a 6.5” Composition Touch multimedia center with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The price of this last edition has not yet been disclosed.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

With about 4,000 m², the building constructed in a traditional neighborhood in France looks like a rainbow, has a colorful facade, mixes vibrant glass, and creates one of the most unusual visuals in Bordeaux.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Aursjøvegen in Norway is a 100-kilometer gravel road that crosses chasms and dark tunnels carved into the rock at an altitude of 947 meters in the fjords and is only open for four months a year.

The Corolla from 2015 to 2019 depreciates so little that a 10-year-old model is still worth over 76 thousand reais, and owners treat this sedan as a safe investment thanks to its reputation for durability that no competitor has been able to match.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.

The 2026 electric Vitara arrives in Brazil and proves that Suzuki is not leaving: 4×4 traction, 184 hp, 61 kWh LFP battery, 293 km range, R$ 259,000, and a trunk capacity of 224 L.

Hyundai has unveiled the Boulder, a square SUV with a body-on-frame design, 37-inch mud tires, and carriage-style doors that seems to be made to take on the Ford Bronco and the Scout Traveller in the United States.

The Toyota Hilux is R$ 75.5 thousand cheaper and bets on the 2.8 turbodiesel engine with up to 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm to catch up with the VW Saveiro, which leads with 4,472 sales.

The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.

The car stored for 38 years: when opening the barn door, what appears is breathtaking and looks like a scene from a movie!
