The original Mk1 Golf GTI had a 1.6 litre four pot motor and weighed approx 800 kgs, the latest iteration had a 3.2 litre six pot motor and weighs 1,600 kg+, and that's a hatchback.

the original is more likely to kill you than the new one thought, as well as being more likely to kill peds than the newer predecessor (with the introduction of the crash test for peds).
