Volkswagen CORRADO G60 AS NEW ULTRA LOW MILES 1991
The Volkswagen Corrado was built at the Karmann factory in Osnabrück, Germany. It was designed by Herbert Schäfer,[1] and was produced between 1 September 1988 and 31 July 1995.
Originally conceived as a possible successor to the Porsche 944, the Corrado is a three-door hatchback/liftback with a 2+2 seating layout.
Auto Express magazine describe it as "Regarded as one of VW’s best-ever drivers’ cars"
All models featured an electrically adjustable rear spoiler, which can be raised or lowered by the driver.
In 1988 in the first incarnation of the BBC TV show Top Gear, the racing car driver and presenter, Tiff Needell, reviewed the Corrado in G60 form, giving it a positive review and stating that "Handling-wise, the Corrado is classic front-wheel drive, and it's really very, very good indeed." In 2003, in series 3 of the relaunched Top Gear, presenter Richard Hammond identified the Corrado as a future classic, "a kind of classic waiting in the wings... I think it's really rather special... the result is fantastic.".
The G60 delivered 160 bhp (120 kW; 160 PS). The Corrado G60 is named for the G-Lader with which it is equipped, a scroll supercharger whose interior resembles the letter "G".
Only 1984 G60 were made for UK market and only 744 still remain according to DVLA.
