VW Scirocco y Corrado: libros - historia y modelos

La VW Scirocco de mon père

From 1974 to 1981, Volkswagen developed a real range around the Scirocco, a worthy replacement for the Karmann Ghia. For all tastes and all colors, such could be the slogan of this model. From the economical 50 hp engine to the fiery 110 hp GTI/GLI, VW was able to offer its customers a multitude of combinations.

Designed by Giugiaro, this versatile and almost family-friendly coupe with its tailgate and folding rear seats was just as much intended for the sports driver as for the father. Distributed in more than 500 000 copies in 8 years of career, the Scirocco was able to conquer Europe but also the country of Uncle Sam, since more than a third of its production crossed the Atlantic.
During its sporting life, it was the host of the Junior Cup, the German equivalent of the Renault cups.

This volume examines the still young history of the Corrado in all its facets: development, design, technology, production. A retrospective also provides an insight into the tradition of the sports coupé at VW.

VW Scirocco & Corrado - Die sportlichen Volkswagen (Schrader Typen Chronik)

The idea of bringing a sports car onto the market came from Golf designer Giorgio Giugiaro. And to underline its sporty, fast character, the car was given the name of an African desert wind: Scirocco.
In the late 1980s, the Corrado was supposed to replace the Scirocco, but was instead offered alongside it.

Joachim Kuch documents the development history of the two sports cars from Wolfsburg. Enriched with plenty of period color in the form of contemporary posters, advertising and brochure material, he describes them with all their technical features.
