VW Corrado VR6.
One of the cars I had, in all its versions ( a lazy 16V; a funny G60, and this VR6, but in green ).
The things I did on this one were lower suspensions, big Brembo brakes, a special exhaust, and a camshaft, all this made by Oettinger. For an increased power of 230 HP, instead of the 190 HP.
A fantastic 6 Cylinders ( 2,9 liters, here ), a superb behavior after all the the changes. The cons? An austere dashboard and interior.
All in all, a car I regretted, a lot.
Best,
Nicolas

I remember them well
They stood out with their muscular design at the time. Years later I almost ended up buying an R32 but was disappointed to find out it was a bit too heavy (4wd) and you couldn't hear the engine from the inside (they sounded great on drive-bys). The dash d...
Strange, I didn't send the comment! ;-)

This brings back memories...
I too had the VR6 version in Green with cream/tan leather interior. I loved the rear 3/4 look and stance of the car and the novel (at the time) retractable rear spoiler.
A car from my era as well !
I tried the 16V and G60, not too fast but certainly not slow. My neighbor had 2 16V's, a 1.8 and a 2.0. The 2.0 was apparently a very lazy car compared to his former 1.8 which he regretted to have sold, he crashed the 2.0 while trying to follow my best fr...
I believe that !
I remember the g60 RallyeGolf and Corrado were a bit slow, even back in the day. But I also remember the many that were tuned to around 200 or even 250 hp, those were astoundingly quick and crazy. If I could own a G60 I would definitely opt for the Mk2 Gt...
