The Revoluationary Acitve Aero made this car ahead of its time. Volkswagen Corrado.

If you were to take a wild guess, how many car models would you say have been built since the dawn of automobile innovation? A thousand? Hundreds of thousands? Not up to that? Whatever your answer is, you will agree that the world has seen numerous car models come and go, with a few of them remaining in our minds as memories and our garages as collector items.

These few models have different things going for them. Some of them were popular for their sleek design and styling, some for their speed and engine power, and some for their interesting approach to engineering solutions. This story is about one of such car models.

It is a story about a car that fits perfectly into two different parts of Europe at the same time. It came from Germany but felt Italian. A car that confused even the ardent VW fanboys when it burst onto the scene. It looked like the MK2 Golf but was supposed to succeed the Scirocco. A car that finally cemented Volkswagen’s desire to build a sports car. It started in VW’s factory and didn’t end up in the hands of its frenemy, Porsche.

This is the story of a car that reinvented how sports coupes looked in an era when sports coupes looked like identical children of the same mother. The tale of a sports car that gave the Japanese a run for their money in an era when the world thought them unbeatable. The history of a car showed that performance could come in small packages in an era when performance was attributed to big cars.

This is the story of the Volkswagen Corrado.


In today's video we look at The Revoluationary Acitve Aero made this car ahead of its time. Volkswagen Corrado.
