VW Corrado Factory Pics

[Wompa 0]

Hi.

 

I have searched like a freak, and now im asking you all.

Does anyone have some picture of the Corradon when it was in production. Im thinking about factory picture, assembly, testing etc in the Karmann factory? Everything that has to do with the Corrado, engine, chassi are of value :grin:

It would be great to have and look at when the mustasch germans made our favorite cars :)

 

If this topic is in the wrong place, please move it :)

Exactly what im looking for :D

I was going to order: Volkswagen Power and Style by Ian Kuah, but it seems like the Corrado Limited are a better choice :)

THANKS :D

 

I found a great price for the VW Corrado book and a Bentley Repair Manual here in Sweden, only 80£ for both :clap: Free shipping! Hurray! :luvlove:

I have VW Power and Style by Ian Kuah, it came with my car :lol:

 

quite an interesting read, and more technical in areas than I expected. Good for a freebie, not sure i'd buy it though.

Dont say so ;) The Corrado body is a beautiful piece of engineering!

The Corrado Magnum Combi is also a ugly piece...

I remember when I was at Uni, I used to spend ages in the library looking through something called "Car Styling" magazine.

 

They had loads of pics of the Corrado's development in one of the issues:

woah thats a hell of a development program!... i'm glad we have 3D cad to conceptualise those sort of ideas now... cant believe they built rolling shells of the above! :pukeright: i suppose its proof that if you keep trying you'll get there in the end but it gives you a pretty strong idea as to why the car ended up so expensive if thats how it was developed!

 

Some great pics in this thread though! :)

That's what I used to do at Uni as well, great pics, illustrations & innovations for sure

I read somewhere that Corrado budget was three times sent to management board for rebalancing at a time, that's how expensive was developing it... Third time, heads at VW agreed there will be no more adding funds for Corrado project. :cuckoo:

Now i know Corrado was really - a bargain! :shock:
