2010 Green VW VOLKSWAGEN Scirocco 1390cc 7 speed ; travelling on the M61 motorway UK
The Volkswagen Scirocco is a three-door, front-engine, front-wheel-drive, sport compact hatchback manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen in two generations from 1974 to 1992 and a third generation from 2008 until 2017. Production ended without a successor. Volkswagen began work on the car during the early 1970s as the replacement for the aging Karmann Ghia coupe, and designated it the Typ 53 internally. Although the platform of the Golf was used to underpin the new Scirocco, almost every part of the car was re-engineered in favour of a new styling (penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro) which was sleeker and sportier than that of the Golf. The Scirocco debuted at the 1973 Geneva Motor Show.[4] Rear view of a pre-facelift model Launched six months before the Golf, in order to resolve any teething troubles before production of the high volume hatchback started,[5] the Scirocco went on sale in Europe in 1974 and in North America in 1975. Type 1 models featured a range of four-cylinder engines with displacements from to litres, with a also offered in North America, all featuring a single-overhead camshaft and two valves per cylinder. The Scirocco derives its name from the Mediterranean wind.
