Volkswagen Corrado
PLEASE PARDON US FOR DISRUPTING THE ENTIRE CLASS
“WE’VE DRIVEN AN AFFORDABLE PORSCHE… CORRADO SLC WITH THE VR6 ENGINE:’ Automobile Magazine
“THE SLC NOW THREATENS TO TROUNCE THE CLASS:’ Car and Driver

The test results are in. 0-60 in 6.8 seconds. 178 hp at 5800 rpm. All for just over half the price of a Porsche 968.* No wonder Corrado SLC is upsetting the rest of its class. For here is the fastest Volkswagen ever built-140 mph top-end on the Autobahn. That’s right, a 140 mph Volkswagen. Somewhere the Beetle is smiling. So are wide-eyed drivers who’ve felt the thrust of Corrado SLC’s new, world-first 2.8-liter in-line V-6.
And, in the Volkswagen way, all this power is ingeniously directed right where it belongs—to the road. Our sophisticated new traction control system regulates wheel spin to get you under-way swiftly. And safely. Standard ABS stops you in the same manner. We’ve also modified the suspension—we call it Plus-Axle—to all but eliminate torque steer. So you don’t sacrifice handling and ride in the pursuit of performance.
The biggest news? Corrado SLC is powerful proof of where Volkswagen is headed. Fast. You’ll find its revolutionary in-line V-6, and other engineering triumphs, the heart of Volkswagen vehicles just down the road. And at the soul of the unique driving experience we call Fahrvergnugen?”
