i stumbled accross this on the net and is it me or should volkswagen have made a convertable version ov the c i think it would have been pretty awesome(questionable styling) but on the whole pretty cool.

Was that picture taken at the wolfsburg museum?

[Jim 2]

That's the Karmann museum... I'm sure I've got some better pics of it somewhere as I've seen it a few times now! :) It's not a bad looking car. There was a Zender convertible too... that looked pretty good.

4 companies did a cabrio design of the Corrado back in the ¨good old days¨: Zender, V.A.G. Eickel, Design und Technik, and Karmann

 

Here´s the one in the Karmann museum:

 

The Zender one:

[robrado974 1]

i like it each to there own i spose. dont know bout the others but karmann one as said was 1995 near the end of production anyway .it was proberbly to costly tbh considering our beloved cars were a flop and two expensive they didnt bother.

Your not alone, interesting side to the corrado' history though.

I was getting ready to puke from the thread title but barring a few questionable max power details I actually don't mind the silver one.....I think it might be because it looks like its kept the high bootline/waistline of the corrado as opposed to the others that continue the line from the front doors :shrug:

I saw the VAG one when I went to the museum at Wolfsburg, thought it looked pretty good and the interior looked great!

[VeeDub Geezer 0]

The VAG one is a true 1993...

 

Real mash up of early and late! I'm so geeky it hurts :-(

I saw the VAG one when I went to the museum at Wolfsburg, thought it looked pretty good and the interior looked great!

 

The straight line fron the windscreen to the rear spoils it for me. It takes away the Corradoness and looks too much like a golf with funny clothes on.

Yes Wullie thats exactly what I was saying, it takes away the higher waistline which makes the corrado design so distinctive....I think !!
