The fascinating Volkswagen Corrado VR6
The Volkswagen Corrado VR6 is an unforgettable car and a milestone in automotive history. This model comes from the first generation built from 1992 to 1995. As the successor to the VW Scirocco, the Volkswagen Corrado VR6 offered improved performance and technology. Designed by the engineers at Volkswagen with notable contributions from Herbert Schäfer who was responsible for the design, the Volkswagen Corrado VR6 was marketed for car enthusiasts who valued performance and stylish design.
Technical details of the original
A key technical aspect of the Volkswagen Corrado VR6 was the VR6 engine, a unique 2.9-liter six-cylinder producing 190 horsepower and 240 Nm (177 ft-lbs) of torque. This impressive engine layout combined compact dimensions with the power of a V6, creating a standout feature in the automotive industry. The front-wheel drive and multi-link rear axle provided excellent driving characteristics. Interestingly, the car also featured an adjustable rear spoiler that automatically extended at higher speeds to enhance stability. 1992 also marked the release of global musical hits like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, reflecting the spirit of that era.
