The Story of the Volkswagen Corrado VR6

The Volkswagen Corrado is a sporty compact coupe that was built from 1988 to 1995. It was designed as the successor to the Scirocco II and was known for its advanced technology and outstanding performance. The Corrado was designed by Herbert Schäfer and was distinguished by its striking design and excellent aerodynamics. Especially noteworthy is the Corrado VR6, which was produced from 1991 to 1995. This model featured the famous VR6 engine, known for its compact design and impressive performance. This engine was a milestone in automotive technology as it arranged six cylinders in a tight V-angle, saving space without compromising performance. In 1991, when the VR6 was introduced, several significant events occurred, including the collapse of the Soviet Union and the release of Michael Jackson's album "Dangerous." These events help to better understand the age and historical context of the vehicle.
