I-Corrado yokuqala yashiya imigqa yokukhiqiza e-Osnabrück, eJalimane, ngo-1988. Ngokusekelwe ku-A2 yeVolkswagen Group, efanayo neVolkswagen Golf Mk2 kanye neSeat Toledo, i-Corrado yethulwa njengezongena esikhundleni seVolkswagen Scirocco.
Idizayini yemoto yezemidlalo yaseJalimane, ephawulwe ngamakhonto amade, yayiphethe u-Herbert Schäfe, umklami omkhulu we-Wolfsburg brand phakathi kuka-1972 no-1993. Nakuba ingokoqobo futhi i-minimalist, ikhabethe lalingekho ncamashi, kodwa njengoba ungacabanga lokhu. enye futhi, kwakungeyona neze imoto yomndeni.
Ngaphandle okunye okukhethekile kweCorrado ukuthi i-spoiler ngemuva iyazikhukhumeza ngesivinini esingaphezu kuka-80 km/h (yize siyakwazi ukuyilawula ngesandla). Eqinisweni, le coupé enezicabha ezi-3 yayiyinhlanganisela ekahle yokusebenza nesitayela sezemidlalo.
IVolkswagen Corrado yaqala ukusebenzisa uhlelo oludonsa ngamasondo angaphambili, kodwa bekungeyona imoto enesicefe, okuphambene kakhulu - inqobo nje uma sikhethe ugearbox oyi-5-speed manual esikhundleni se-4-speed automatic transmission.
ICorrado iqale ukuvela emakethe ngezinjini ezimbili ezahlukene: injini engu-1.8-valve enamandla angu-16 hp enamandla angu-136 hp kanye nenjini engu-1.8-valve engu-160 hp, zombili zisebenza kuphethiloli. Le block yokugcina kamuva yabizwa ngokuthi i-G60, ngenxa yokuthi i-compressor contours ifana nohlamvu "G". Ukusheshisa ukusuka ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h kwenziwe ngemizuzwana engu-8.9.

Ngemva kweziphakamiso zokuqala, iVolkswagen yakhiqiza amamodeli amabili akhethekile: i-G60 Jet, okukhethekile emakethe yaseJalimane, kanye ne-Corrado 16VG60. Kamuva, ngo-1992, uhlobo lwaseJalimane lwethula injini ye-atmospheric engu-2.0, ukuthuthukiswa ngaphezu kwebhulokhi engu-1.8.
Kodwa injini eyayifiseleka kakhulu kwaba yibhulokhi engu-12 valve 2.9 VR6, eyasungulwa ngo-1992, inguqulo yayo yemakethe yaseYurophu yayinamandla acishe abe ngu-190 hp. Yize bekuyimodeli “enokunyathela” okuningi kunangaphambili, lokhu kubuye kwabonakala nasekusetshenzisweni.
Ukudayiswa kweCorrado kwakufiphala kwaze kwaphela ngo-1995, ngaleyo ndlela kwaphetha iminyaka eyisikhombisa yokukhiqizwa kwe-coupe eyaphawula ukuqala kweminyaka yama-90. Sekukonke, amayunithi angu-97 521 aphuma efektri yase-Osnabrück.
Kuyiqiniso ukuthi kwakungeyona imodeli enamandla kakhulu, kodwa i-Corrado G60 yayiphumelele kakhulu ePortugal. Kodwa-ke, amanani aphezulu kanye nokusetshenziswa akuzange kuvumele i-Corrado ukuthi ifinyelele amandla ayo aphelele.
Naphezu kwakho konke, le coupé yacatshangelwa izincwadi eziningana njengenye yamamodeli angcono kakhulu futhi ashukumisayo kakhulu esizukulwaneni sayo; ngokusho kwephephabhuku i-Auto Express, ingenye yezimoto zakwaVolkswagen ezihlomula kakhulu ngesipiliyoni sokushayela, evela ohlwini oluthi “25 Cars You Must Drive Before You Die“.
