According to Emanual Online, “Volkswagen finally built the Corrado we all wanted for the model year 1992. That year, VW introduced the brand-new VR6 engine. The VR6 was a narrow-angle V6 with a single cylinder head. Overhead camshafts aid the 15-degree six-cylinder in running with the smoothness of an inline and the power of a V-engine.
The VR6 produced a respectable 172 horsepower and provided the Corrado with 0-60 acceleration times in the mid-seven seconds. The new motor, while radical in design, was quite simple. The VR6 proved to be a robust and reliable motor for many Volkswagen fans. Its innovative design led to the eventual development of the narrow-angle VR5 and eventually, the W-series. Volkswagen W-series engines combine two VR8 engines to build the monstrous quad-turbo W16 used in the Bugatti Veyron, as well as the W8 and W12 found in the Volkswagen Phaeton.
Volkswagen uses the VR nomenclature to identify its “V-engine, Reihenmotor”. The nomenclature refers to the German words for V and Inline engines.
What Makes the Volkswagen Corrado Desirable for Collectors?
Rarity is not the only quality that makes a particular car desirable. Plenty of cars were not produced in large numbers, but are not popular with collectors. The Volkswagen Corrado is popular with collectors because of its combination of style, performance, and attitude.
What the Corrado lacked in straight-out performance made up for it with nimble handling, dynamic steering, and excellent braking. The low-slung body also provided an excellent center of gravity. Another interesting feature is the electronically-operated rear wing raising at speeds above 50 mph to improve downforce and high-speed handling. The steering was light and predictable and without too much steering wheel torque often common with front-wheel-drive cars.
When Volkswagen engineers installed the VR6 engine, the Corrado gained new steering and suspension, along with a wider track. The Corrado VR6 is often on lists such as “Ten Cars You Have To Drive Before You Die.”
