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.
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.
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.
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.
Very nice! White alone is rare enough then again, Ive seen a few yellow ones and that has got to be even rarer!!! Usually seem them in green, red or purple/bluey purple
Had exactly the same car, Storm in blue. I put the R32 engine in which gave it the little bit more poke that it needed. Full nut and bolt restoration. It was great fun.
AH god!!!. Every time I see one of those cars I gotta look away. I had a minting example complete with leathers, sunroof and air conditioning back in the summer of 2009 and went and sold it for £3K so I could go on holiday. Has to be the best sounding and most enjoyable car I have ever driven. Can't get a decent one for under £12k now.
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.
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
Volkswagen really knew what they were doing when they bolted these together. They are quick cars and were fast in their day but you can really red line it every gear in normal traffic and have an absolute blast. They were just fun practical sporty cars and WAY ahead of anything from the Japanese or Americans in the normal market.
I knew I dude in Poland he had that version. Non storm version though. His VR6 had 380 bhp as he had some bigger turbo. Cant remember but 380bhp. A monster.
Hard to beat the Corrado , Have a late 95 in red just with out the Storm badge... Think every owner has a cheeky look in the rear view mirror evrytime the spoiler rises..lol Great to see the Corrado getting some FYD love...
violet ice grey was a colour only offered in Canada 1994 model VR6 with black recaros and the stiching was in the same colour as the body. 500 in this colour world wide only (approx)
I paid ,£200 for a dragon green 1.8 16v in about 2010. Still had mot and tax. Full karmann leather. Paint work was bad. High mileage. Drove lovely. Sold it for £450 a couple of months later....... Still regret it to this day.
It was a Beast 😮. I should of kept mine it has a great body shape much better than the vw Gti today and the R. They should come with another Corrado bring it out 2027 . I bet it would sale more than the R and Gti if they came with a great body shape.
lovely, my classic green storm is my delight .BUT the blue ones were black inside including the headliner .so that headliner has been filched from a green un.
I had the G60 version a many years ago, I paid £2500 at the time and the car was pretty mint. Just checked on total car check and unfortunately it's now scrapped 😢
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.
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).
@@TraceyAllan-g1p I must admit I wasn't aware of that car. I certainly never saw one on the streets in the UK. But having looked it up, you are quite right 👍
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.
@@LickyDischargeg60 is on my want list! Arguably the early g60s (and 16vs) and the most beautiful Corrados with their diff bonnet, wings grill and lights.
The Corrados were all based off the MK2 chassis, 4 cylinder models subframe and a Passat B3 rear torsion beam the VR6 had the MK3 Plus subframe and rear torsion beam.
I have a 2.9 red vr6 and few of my buddies have a couple of g60's supercharged. My other bud has original yellow ,green and a blue. These ain't that rare in canada
