Corrado vr6 is just so good, it's drives so well, sounds incredible. One of the best cars ever made imo, a true 90s classic and so ahead of its time.

Yep, not the fastest for even then considering there was red top novas and astras flying about 😂😂😂. Plus the subaru n honda boys and even then audis n bmws. But with all that said the vr6 sounded amazing! I still prefer the v5 but im that guy that likes the odd cylinder sound.

Corrado VR6 owner checking in. I've owned mine for 12 years now. "Storm grey" (that's the paint colour name, it isn't a Storm), BBS RX2 alloys, electric cloth recaros. I love the car so much. It has sat in a garage for nearly two years but I am getting it back on the road this month.

Lovely motor. I bought my VR6 back in 98/99, put 120-140K miles on her in UK & Europe, she drove like a legend, everywhere. Fantastic car, so good that I'm having mine restored (JMR in worthing - they really understand & know Corrados), can't wait to get her back again.

Great to see you so enthusiastic behind the wheel. There is very little social media content on Corrados, probably because they are rare. I have 1 of less than 20 white VR6s in the same spec as the storm (well I have the VDO centre oil/battery gauges on top of storm spec). Mystic blue is definitely the Storm model to have, the green ones were common to non storm spec cars and often badged as storms when they were not. Either way though, today, the Storms are actually the most common spec Corrado VR6, and share common colour and wheel spec from the mk3 golf where as non storm cars have unique corrado and wheel specs, l and i speak from a club enthusiast level with access to real life data on Corrados left on the road. Great video either way and thanks for posting Corrado content.

I drove a Corrado VR6 when it was new (somewhat illicitly lol). It felt torquey, solid, and AGILE, like the Reebok shoe of cars, but it didn't feel low. I regard it as the second best handling FWD car I've ever driven.
@NatCurrier11 ай бұрын
I don't have a storm, but I have a fairly performance-upgraded SLC/VR6 and have had several others including a G60... quite literally my favourite car of all time and I will always own at least one. The 12V VR6 is so glorious sounding (especially the early dizzy pre-coil pack ones). Correction though they are not based on the MK3, closer to a B3/B4 passat and MK2 hybrid, but uniquely its own thing and every Corrado I have ever had (10+) has had A/C

Yes it was and you can fit it into the Corrado with a little effot. But sadly the engine never made it to the scirocco. The Corrado VR6 is also unique in being the only 2.9L version of the VR6 engine. The Golf, Bora and Sharan all used a 2.8L or 3.2L version (with 24v being used on the later versions).

The figure of 5 Storms on the road unfortunately isn't accurate. Most Storms were registered as just a VR6. It was entirely down to how the dealer registered it when new. That's why the Mystic blue Storm is a safer buy than a Green Storm, because Mystic was a colour unique to the Storm.

4 cyl cars were mk2, the 6 cyl were actually mk3 golf. I know this because I own a corrado vr6, mk2 16v and a mk3 16v. The vr6 rado is identical in chassis to the mk3 I have.
