Here we have a striking 1993 Volkswagen Corrado VR6 5-Speed in a fresh & rare Jasmin Yellow finish. The Corrado is a 2+2 hot-hatch manufactured by Karmann, which this example has a center-console badge for. It was launched in 1990 & Volkswagen marketed it as its "1st full-blooded sports car". It replaced the Scirocco, though positioned further towards the performance end of the spectrum with a supercharged inline-4 or in this case, a larger, naturally-aspirated V6. Production of the Corrado ended in 1994 for North America. The body shell was partially zinc plated & galvanized, providing strong rust protection.
This example presents a well-kept driver that does not show its mileage. The seller acquired this Corrado in 2021 when it had roughly 119,300 miles / 192,000 km on the odometer. Under previous ownership its factory 2.8L VR6 was reportedly rebuilt & bored out to 2.9L. In 2021 the seller had it repainted in its original Jasmin Yellow which intentionally has a little more yellow pigment for the colour to "pop" more. In 2023 it was reportedly treated to a new OEM clutch & transmission, front & rear tower strut braces and a cold air intake. The seller also opted to add Bilstein PSS9 adjustable coilovers & Porsche Turbo-Twist wheels which look fantastic on it. Moving to the interior, it is all original other than the addition of the Kenwood head unit & speakers. It features a speed-activated rear spoiler which raises automatically when the car exceeds 100 km/h, heated front sport seats, center stack gauges, power features & the swivel headlights option. This Corrado is also a factory sunroof delete example, as the large majority of them have a sunroof as standard; another way this example stands out.
It is powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.9L VR6 engine that utilizes a single cylinder head spinning the front wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. All is said to be in working order & nothing short of an amazing driver. The power figures listed below have likely increased due to the larger displacement.
