The VW Golf truly stands as the GOAT—Austria’s best-selling car and a key driver of innovation across the Volkswagen range. It was the Golf that introduced groundbreaking features like ABS and airbags to more affordable models, democratising advanced technology for everyday drivers. To honour 50 years of the Golf, Volkswagen Austria hosted a remarkable celebration, with all eight generations of this legendary car driven by journalists and influencers through the scenic Austrian Alps.

By engaging car journalists and influencers through an Alpine road trip, the event created a deeper connection with fans and generated fresh, shareable content. GRANULAR captured the celebration through dynamic visuals, increasing the Golf’s online visibility and engaging new audiences with its story of innovation.
