Re-invented for the digital age in 2008, few third-generation Volkswagen Scirocco drivers may realise the last time their beloved coup<\/strong>\u00e9 <\/strong>appeared was in the more analogue 1990s. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was 1992 to be precise, which means 2017 marks a whole 25 years since the second generation of the German curvy Golf-based coup\u00e9 was blown away by ever-increasing demands for cleaner-burning engines, safety legislation, as well as more technologically-advanced rivals.<\/p>\n

\"Scirocco<\/a><\/figure>\n

And Golf-based? The Scirocco actually arrived before its more famous brother. Launched six months before its sibling with the more upright attitude, VW\u2019s first water-cooled coup\u00e9 appeared at the Geneva motor show in March 1974, rubbing tyres with the Citro\u00ebn CX and Lamborghini Countach. And while the \u2018Typ 53\u2019 project wasn\u2019t an all-out supercar in the traditional sense as it trialled the oily bits and running gear of Volkswagen\u2019s future best-seller, it was a super<\/em> \u2013 and important \u2013 car to the German carmaker.<\/p>\n

\"Scirocco<\/a><\/figure>\n

Styled by Giugiaro (who also penned the first-generation Golf), named after a dry and dusty Mediterranean\/North African wind which originates in the Sahara, and with a modern range of engines, the wedge-silhouetted, sharp-creased 1970s Scirocco enjoyed a successful seven-year career. A total of 504,153 examples had been built by production\u2019s end in 1981: that\u2019s around 70,000 more than its distinctly curvier predecessor, the \u2018Typ 14\u2019 Beetle-based Karmann Ghia, which, like the Scirocco, was built at the Karmann factory in Osnabr\u00fcck.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

But, as the brown and orange-tinted 1970s gave way to the brightly-hued 1980s, curves were back in, and the second-generation Scirocco adopted a new, more rounded suit. Still very distinctly a wedge, the Mk 2\u2019s slim front end rose more aerodynamically to a curvier rear, which featured a distinctive plastic spoiler mounted on the window. Drivers of cars behind were also left in doubt which car they were following, thanks to the prominent \u2018SCIROCCO\u2019 decal which was sandwiched in-between the spoiler and the bodywork. Subtle it wasn\u2019t. And that\u2019s before<\/em> we start talking about Kamei and Rieger body kits…<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/a><\/figure>\n

The standard Mk 2 Scirocco silhouette was upgraded throughout its life and transformed into that of a tastefully body-kitted car. Zender body styling add-ons \u2013 colour-coded or black \u2013 became de rigeur<\/em> from the mid-1980s, while a scattering of special edition models were the lifeblood of the model range. One in particular, the Storm, is perhaps the most fondly remembered: leather trim, full carpeting, 14-inch alloy wheels, and a choice of Cosmos Blue or Havanna Brown metallic paint were quite the thing in 1984. Following the success of the first-generation special which shared its name, only 600 Mk 2 Scirocco Storms were built, all sold exclusively in the UK.<\/p>\n

\"Scirocco\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

But before the arrival of the luxurious Storm, and even though it sat atop much the same mechanicals as its predecessor, the second-generation Scirocco was a more upmarket proposition than the car that went before. From 1981 to 1992, a whirlwind of model badges and carburettor-fed or fuel-injected engines arrived and disappeared as fast as you could say \u2018there\u2019s no place like home\u2019, but initial top-rung accoutrements included a four-headlamp front grille, a colour-matched \u2013 garish or tasteful depending on your sense of style \u2013 dashboard, seat covers imprinted with Polaroid-style photo frame patterns, a rev counter and, of course, a more athletic-looking steering wheel.<\/p>\n

\"Scirocco<\/a><\/figure>\n

Although a large part of the Scirocco\u2019s undeniable appeal was style \u2013 heck, even jet-setting glamour puss Avril Wolfe of 1980s big BBC drama Howards<\/em>\u2019 Way<\/em> fame had an all-white Scala \u2013 the second-generation was also more of a performance machine. To really play the sporting coup\u00e9 card, Mk 2 Scirocco drivers needed the GT or GTI models. Early versions of the the latter employed the running gear and 110bhp 1.6-litre fuel-injected engine of \u2013 you\u2019re probably already there \u2013 the Mk 1 Golf GTI, and thanks to its slippery shape, even boasted a superior top speed than Volkswagen\u2019s iconic go-faster hatch.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

The larger 112bhp 1.8 from its speedy saloon sibling soon followed, while the Scirocco got super sporty with the arrival of the GTX 16V in 1986, which borrowed the multi-valve Mk 2 Golf GTI\u2019s 139bhp 1.8-litre engine. The performance was as brisk as the specification was high: 0-60mph came up in just 7.9 seconds, while central locking, discreet \u201816V\u2019 badges, electric windows, rear disc brakes, 14-inch \u2018Montreal\u2019 beer bottle-top-like alloy wheels, and twin exhausts were all standard features.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

The GTX 16V may have been the most powerful production Mk 2 Scirocco, but Volkswagen had already made its racey coup\u00e9 even racier. In 1982 it produced a pair of Scirocco TRs, concepts which shared the appearance of the standard car, embellished with a Porsche-like removable targa roof panel. But the raciest Sciroccos of all were the Bimotor-engined cars which surfaced in 1982 and 1983. Built by Volkswagen Research, one with a 180bhp 1.8-litre engine at each end, the twin-engined monsters did 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds, and trounced a Porsche 911 Turbo to 110mph!<\/p>\n

\"Twin<\/a><\/figure>\n

On 7 September 1992, the final Mk 2 Sciroccos rolled out of the Karmann factory. Over 291,497 cars had found fans all over the world, and had proved \u2013 despite the arrival of modern rivals and even VW\u2019s own more sumptuous Corrado, sold alongside the Scirocco for four years from 1988 \u2013 that there was genuine love for Volkswagen\u2019s second sports coup\u00e9 concept.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

Breezing in at the 2006 Paris motor show, the idea was reborn with the Iroc concept car which previewed the current iteration of VWs wind-named fastback. The round-backed Mk 2 is still remembered, though, its combination of elegant style, performance and practicality a breath of fresh air among Volkswagen\u2019<\/strong>s range of 1980s conservativity. <\/strong><\/p>\n
