So amazing to see a stock Volkswagen Corrado G60. I'm sure by now this one has been motor swapped and is doing burnouts out an unsanctioned car gathering near you.

Looks pretty good from the outside, but the interior is pretty awful for 1990. With the Eclipse being introduced and popularizing the wrapped around cockpit design, this interior would have looked extremely dated and very boring for a new model.
@rodmunch694 жыл бұрын
@Disney Princess of Mars I'm just talking about the interior - the Corrado looks ancient for the time, and the style of all interiors were really dictated by the Eclipse wrap around cockpit look (as it was called at the time). As for the cars, the Eclipse was really highly thought of then - but you could get low spec'd rental car versions that were pretty much garbage, so maybe you had one of those, or maybe you're just a fanboy VW fanboy. I have no dog in the fight and think the VW here looks really good, except the extremely dated interior - and that's most likely why it never took off.

Unfortunately in 2005 a Dodge Neon SRT4 decided to ram me off the road and into a telephone pole to furture examine this interesting car. I later got a VR6 Corrado but it wasn't the same as my tuned g60. I kept the motor and now after all these years have it installed in a 1991 VW cabby, I hope to re-live my youth with it, share it with my kids, and avoid Neons and telephone poles.

I remember watching this episode when it originally aired. I said to myself, I'll own one of them some day! 1.5 years later I bought a slightly used yellow '90 g60 w/ 27k miles. I still own it today, and still enjoy it, w/ 101k miles. I drove it daily for 10 years. Mine was and is very reliable (unlike others), but I did rebuild my supercharger twice to be safe, and change the oil frequently. Many died due to people over boosting them and NOT changing the oil; which will kill those superchargers. The build quality was on par w/ a 944 at that time. Mine had no squeaks or rattles, and still doesn't. Unfortunately, the high price (for the time) is what did it in. Vw probably should have also offered it in the 2.0 16v version for less money; that might have helped sales; since Americans love options and prestige without the higher price. Also, people seem to forget thst there was a recession going on in 1990 as well. I graduated from design school in 90 and thankfully got a job soon after; many others were not so lucky.

I can tell you from personal experience, the spoiler really is effective. When I lived in Germany, I had my first Corrado G60 carefully tuned for more power at TEC. Top speed rose from around 150 mph to around 160. Shortly after the tuning, I had a subwoofer installed. Unfortunately, the installer cut the cable for the speed-compensated volume. I'd just got on the autobahn and had only reached around 150mph on the way to Frankfurt. The back end felt really light. Couldn't see the spoiler in the rear view mirror. Fortunately, the override switch at bottom left still functioned, so I was able to reach Frankfurt on time! I later spliced the cable myself and full functionality was restored. Yes, the same cable that controls speed-compensated volume also sends the signal for the spoiler.

My college housemate back in the 90s had one exactly looked like this but with the leather option. He modded the hell out of it with Neuspeed and later Oettinger performance parts. The handling was amazing it simply glued to the ground as if it was on a rail track without much body roll and sway even at very high speed turns. I also remember it put out almost 230 crank horsepower with a smaller supercharger pulley, performance chip, cold air intake, free-flow exhaust and higher boost (16 psi). Till this day it's still a joy to think of the deep exhaust note, rev up supercharger sound the car produced, and the rush every time the good amount of torque pushing your back.

0-60 in 7.5 is really good for a 1.8! Even today thats not a slow car! But then I guess cars of the late 80s/early 90s were much lighter and more simpler than they are now. 158bhp in a modern hatch/coupe would not feel quick at all. Makes you wonder if all the crap they put in modern cars is really necessary. Sometimes less can be more.

The Corrado was a great sporty car. It sucks that production didn't last long enough for it to get known well. It came out in 1990, but was suddenly dropped in the USA in 1994.

These were really cool cars when they came out, problem was they were overpriced. The same money bought you a 240sx, Eclipse/Talon AWD or a V8 Mustang. They sat on lots. I remember the 90's sitting on the lot, brand new, for ~$13k two or three year later. They were selling them for the same price as a 8v GTI.

Great cars inside and out. Unfortunately they are all plagued with electrical issues. I know several over the years that have caught fire because of them. They should have equipped all of them with a fire extinguisher standard. Lol
