The Volkswagen Corrado, produced from 1988 to 1996, was a sporty coupe that aimed to fill the gap between the Golf GTI and the Scirocco. It was a sleek and aerodynamic car, boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.30, making it one of the most aerodynamic production cars of its time. This aerodynamic advantage was achieved through a number of design features, including a smooth, sloping roofline, flush-mounted door handles, and a rear spoiler that automatically deployed at speeds above 50 mph. The Corrado was offered with a variety of engines, ranging from 2.0-liter four-cylinders to a powerful 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, generating up to 190 horsepower. The Corrado also came equipped with a sophisticated suspension system that provided both comfort and handling, making it a pleasure to drive on both winding roads and open highways. Beyond its sporty performance and impressive aerodynamics, the Corrado offered a comfortable and refined interior. It featured high-quality materials and a driver-focused cockpit with supportive seats and well-placed controls. The Corrado's spacious interior and practical features, including a large trunk and a rear window that could be fully opened, made it a versatile and enjoyable car for both daily commutes and weekend adventures. However, despite its appealing attributes, the Corrado faced stiff competition from other sporty coupes in the market, ultimately leading to its discontinuation in 1996. Today, the Corrado remains a sought-after classic car, appreciated for its unique design, performance, and driving experience. The Volkswagen Corrado serves as a testament to the German automaker's commitment to innovation and engineering excellence, solidifying its place in automotive history as a captivating and engaging performance coupe.
