The VW Corrado is a purebred sports car in its own right, originally tasked with the difficult job of replacing the legendary Scirocco coupés. It was designed to showcase the Volkswagen Group’s considerable technical and mechanical capabilities in the late 1980s. As such, it was intended to compete head-to-head with Porsche and its 924-944 models, surpassing both in many aspects, as well as other rival models such as the Ford Probe, Toyota Célica, Vauxhall Calibra and Nissan 200 SX.

Miguel Ángel Águila Buchaca explores the creative and development process of the Corrado in detail through informative text and a full range of illustrations. The car’s evolution over the years, the different variants, the special series and even the original preparations, developed by the best German tuners such as Oettinger, Treser, ABT or Zender, are also featured in this book. This concise, indispensable guide tells the complete story of the VW Corrado.

Miguel Ángel Águila Buchaca has been passionate about automotive history from a very young age and works as a researcher. He is author of Lancia Coupé and HPE Los olvidados de SEAT and the trilogy SEAT 1979-80-81 on the history of SEAT and its transition from FIAT to Volkswagen. He has had articles published in Spanish magazines Auto Inédito and Young Cars and is regular contributor to motoring publications.
