Volkswagen Golf A59 MK3

only 3 in the world, 2 are in the VW museum and one is owned by Dave Graf owner and my mechanic at NGP Racing in Aberdeen, MD.

The development of the A59 began early in 1992 until the project took an end in 1994. One of the causes where the cost of the project and what it would be to expensive. The A59 never enter production. Only two project cars were built by Konrad Schmidt Motorsport, for Volkswagen Motorsport.
