PayPal users welcome... heres a little bit of Scirocco history.. Scirocco may not be a name that springs to mind when reviewing the annals of racing history. But racing is exactly what was on Volkswagen’s mind in 1977 when it promoted its sports coupe as “The Racing Volkswagen.”The car was successful in category 1 Trans-Am, as well as in the VW/SCCA-created Scirocco/Bilstein Cup series, which led to Volkswagen touting Scirocco as a “truly exciting, everyday sports car.”The Scirocco’s performance was respectable if not scintillating on the street. More significantly, the car helped transition the company from an air-cooled past to a water-cooled future.The Scirocco first appeared in Europe in 1974, the product of a 1970 contract between Volkswagen and Italdesign for the design of two new cars on the same platform, the distinctively shaped Scirocco and the Golf/Rabbit. The Scirocco was the performer in the lineup, replacing the popular Karmann-Ghia as VW’s sports car.The Mk1 Scirocco was powered by a 1.5-liter water-cooled, carbureted engine producing 70 hp. By 1977 a larger 1.6-liter, with CIS fuel-injection producing 78 hp, was standard. Power to the front wheels was transmitted via a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic transmission.The Scirocco’s buckets are a plaid-patterned cloth and vinyl material, the squared-off instrument binnacle features tachometer, speedometer, voltmeter and temperature gauges. A familiar VW smell greets the driver, but when the engine fires there is no air-cooled thrum, just the buzz of the I4. Manual transmission-equipped Sciroccos reached 60 mph in around 12 seconds in 1977. Cain’s three-speed automatic-equipped car needs a couple of extra ticks to hit that mark.What the Scirocco lacks in straight-line performance it makes up for with nimble handling. Its independent suspension (front MacPherson strut/rear stabilizer axle) delivers a firm ride with forgiving understeer at the limit, extracting decent grip from the rubber mounted on skinny 13-inch alloy wheels.Braking is acceptable for 1970s standards. Front discs and rear drums bring the 2015-pound coupe to relatively short stops. A strong suit is fuel economy: The Scirocco returns better than 35 mpg on the highway—impressive today, terrific in 1977.Europeans were treated to the Scirocco GTi in 1977, but that high-performance iteration did not make it to the United States. The fastest American variants then were the 170-hp racers that won the 1976 Trans-Am championship for touring cars under 2.0 liters and series rounds at Nelson Ledges and Pocono the following year.The Mk1 continued in production until 1981, with sales surpassing 500,000. More rounded styling characterized the Mk2 Scirocco that debuted in 1982. Successive engine, suspension and brake upgrades kept the car selling in the United States until 1988 and in Europe until 1992.
