The third generation Scirocco is a piece of art. I remember when I first saw it in public - at one of the many small parking lots at our private boarding school, with Ferdinand Piëch's wife behind the wheel picking up their son to get home for the weekend. So far, so normal. The crazy thing about this situation: back then the Scirocco wasn't even available, it was still shown at different shows, and I was allowed to sit inside it and have a look at the beautiful beige interior and comfy leather seats. And the wheels were those show-off chrome monsters. I will always remember this day. And also: Rest In Peace Ferdinand Piëch.

That "old guy", Ferdinand Piech, is the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche.

There also is the Nürburgring gp track wich can/will be linked to the 20.8 km Nordschleife in most races to have a ~25km track. And then there was the Südschleife (southloop) wich isnt part of the track anymore. But when someone says Nürburgring they usualy mean the 20.8km Nordschleife (northloop). Otherwise they usualy add gp track to Nürburgring.

Great episode one of my favorite cars I had 2 sciroccos and still have my Corrado... wish we could have gotten the new scirocco for sure

This episode was above and beyond in production! Well done well done

My father had a Mk1 Scirocco before I was born, he's owned every generatiom of Corvette and Camaro...but he still talks about the build quality of his Scirocco, how well it handled and how smooth the ride was. He didn't own it for too long though. He told me the three cars he regrets getting rid of the most are his '76 427 tri-power Corvette, his '59 Vette Roadster and his Mk1 Scirocco.

Thank you for the video! Even more proud to be a Scirocco owner!

Actually it was true back then, especially the power was decreased for the US-market, but over here, in Germany, many People were jealous on the Americans, because they usually got better exterior. I think almost any Tuner used US bumpers without the big Space for the license plate and also the turning lights were usually US ones. That trend continued, as far as I know, till 2007 or so. At least US-mods were also a thing for my MK4 Golf from 2002.

I first saw the Scirocco while surfing through instagram and i didn't knew something as beautiful as that exists!! God, it was love at first sight. I was so amazed with the looks of it.

First car I fell for, my dads friend had a MK2 Scirocco in Tornado red with the 16v engine, stunning car. I now own a Corrado VR6 which is a project car and a TDI 2010 Scirocco, may have had more an impact on me than I would like to admit.

I then Added a Turbo, performance exhaust and suspension, some ground effects, and adapted a Mercedes 300SD fuel enrichment actuator and methanol20%/80%water injection, and was getting around 100hp, and 60mpg. I drove for years and 150,000 miles with no issues. Even today it would be a fun and remarkable car.

ABF 16v will always be one of my favorite motors. Too bad we never had them here in the states, just the 1.8l PL and 9A 2.0l. A PL head on a 9A block is a worthwhile mod, especially with the 50mm intake manifold and 'euro' intake cam. Ahhhhhh back in the days of Techtonics, and Autotech were some of the only tuners. Another cool trick is to get a spare exhaust cam and chop the end off it and run it in place of the intake cam. BOOM, an OEM part that can be used to stay within class rules that only allow factory parts. Its funny how many people are intimidated by CIS but I love it, having turning wrenches on so many CIS cars back in the day. Couple other good upgrades for the 16v CIS cars are the Audi 5000 throttle body, airflow plate and fuel dizzy. They all bolt up and work. 👍🤙😎
