The Taiyo VW Golf is a radio controlled car, released onto the European market in 1980. One year earlier, in 1979, Taiyo released its first range of 'Full Function' Radio Control cars. One of the most popular was the VW Golf Polyzai (Police). A year later in 1980, Taiyo released the racing variant (this one) with a sparkling silver body, and racing decals. All are highly popular collectables.
Performance
As a 1980 radio controlled toy, we can't expect much from the VW Golf, with just 3xAA batteries to drive the car, and the steering designed much like that on a horse and cart, it's no pocket rocket. But that's not really the point with vintage toys and RC, such as this. See a video of the Taiyo VW Golf (Racing) here:
