VW CORRADO LIMITED EDITION PREMIER

The Volkswagen Corrado is a hatchback 3-door coupe developed by VW, was built by Karmann in Osnabruck, Germany between 19988 and 1995 and was conceived as a successor to the successful Scirocco. The Corrado offered exceptional handling for its time and was listed as one of the ‘25 cars you must drive before you die’ by the British magazine ‘Car’.

All Corrados were front-wheel drive and featured petrol engines. New engines were added including the revolutionary VR6 which combined the benefits of both V-shaped and straight engines by placing the two cylinder banks at an angle of 15 degrees with a single cylinder head which allowed engineers to fit a six-cylinder engine into the space. In an attempt to popularize the car, a 2.0-litre 8-valve model was produced in Europe in 1995. It had an uninspiring performance and production ceased except for the UK only limited production model, the VR6 Storm.

Perceived as too expensive, the Corrado reached a production total of just 97,521 and has now become a modern classic.
