The third generation Scirocco is a piece of art. I remember when I first saw it in public - at one of the many small parking lots at our private boarding school, with Ferdinand Piëch's wife behind the wheel picking up their son to get home for the weekend. So far, so normal. The crazy thing about this situation: back then the Scirocco wasn't even available, it was still shown at different shows, and I was allowed to sit inside it and have a look at the beautiful beige interior and comfy leather seats. And the wheels were those show-off chrome monsters. I will always remember this day. And also: Rest In Peace Ferdinand Piëch.

@@Glamrock993 the Nürburgring is the racetrack. The Nordschleife is a part of it. In fact the big part usualy everybody means when they talk about the Nürburgring. There also is the Nürburgring gp track wich can/will be linked to the 20.8 km Nordschleife in most races to have a ~25km track. And then there was the Südschleife (southloop) wich isnt part of the track anymore. But when someone says Nürburgring they usualy mean the 20.8km Nordschleife (northloop). Otherwise they usualy add gp track to Nürburgring.

My father had a Mk1 Scirocco before I was born, he's owned every generatiom of Corvette and Camaro...but he still talks about the build quality of his Scirocco, how well it handled and how smooth the ride was. He didn't own it for too long though. He told me the three cars he regrets getting rid of the most are his '76 427 tri-power Corvette, his '59 Vette Roadster and his Mk1 Scirocco.

Actually it was true back then, especially the power was decreased for the US-market, but over here, in Germany, many People were jealous on the Americans, because they usually got better exterior. I think almost any Tuner used US bumpers without the big Space for the license plate and also the turning lights were usually US ones. That trend continued, as far as I know, till 2007 or so. At least US-mods were also a thing for my MK4 Golf from 2002.

I have never liked old Volkswagens, until I got to ride in an old Scirocco. It wasn't amazing in the acceleration department. The owner however, could throw it around like it was a go-kart. He did crash it eventually, but it was still fun to drive around in that car.

I then Added a Turbo, performance exhaust and suspension, some ground effects, and adapted a Mercedes 300SD fuel enrichment actuator and methanol20%/80%water injection, and was getting around 100hp, and 60mpg. I drove for years and 150,000 miles with no issues. Even today it would be a fun and remarkable car.

ABF 16v will always be one of my favorite motors. Too bad we never had them here in the states, just the 1.8l PL and 9A 2.0l. A PL head on a 9A block is a worthwhile mod, especially with the 50mm intake manifold and 'euro' intake cam. Ahhhhhh back in the days of Techtonics, and Autotech were some of the only tuners. Another cool trick is to get a spare exhaust cam and chop the end off it and run it in place of the intake cam. BOOM, an OEM part that can be used to stay within class rules that only allow factory parts. Its funny how many people are intimidated by CIS but I love it, having turning wrenches on so many CIS cars back in the day. Couple other good upgrades for the 16v CIS cars are the Audi 5000 throttle body, airflow plate and fuel dizzy. They all bolt up and work. 👍🤙😎

I own a 2010 mk3 Scirocco. Not only is it beautiful, If you drive it "normally" you can get over 45mpg (2.0 TSi version) Not bad for a car that never fails to make me smile when I stamp on the happy pedal.

Brings back Memories! I had a 79 (I think) red scirocco S brought brand new as a softmore in high school. I had Jensen 6x9 Jensen tri-X speakers, a Sony front end and a Linear Power amp. Rocking out to Donny iris 'Ah Leah'... what a fun car. Can't find much on the S these days

The idea of a electric scirocco is about as appealing as cleaning a cats litter box

How about a hybrid hot hatch? That sounds fun
@adamlemus7585 5 жыл бұрын
If done correctly it can be. Like a 6 speed manual hybrid hot hatch. Hell actually a manual ev isn’t even a bad idea. I have driven a Electric bug with a Gene Berg 5speed transaxle an that was fun

Agreed. Screw everything about that! Now... another VR6 or TDI would be lovely.

@@zhixci958 Imagine vw doing the what the Crz should have been, im thinking the up's GTI 3 cylinder (a 4 banger would be optimal, but im trying to compromise) with a turbo and the electric engine, should be good for at least 180 hp (though i think a sirocco should have at least 200 but that number should be posible with what im sugesting)

My very first car in 1994: a yellow 1977 Scirocco GTI with the 1.6 110hp engine and 4-speed manual gearbox. Half (fake?) leather with yellow checkered fabric interior. Extras were a sunroof and a (foam?) black back spoiler. I would chop off my arm to have one today. Such a cool car!
