Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

Originally intended to be an up-market Scirocco but was so well received that it ended up superseding it in 1992.

Built by Karmann, the fancy pants Corrado had flush-fitting windows and a swanky active rear spoiler that operated automatically depending on the speed.

The supercharged G60 with its scroll supercharger and 158bhp was the King of the Hill until VW launched – and it really is a bit of a rocketship – the mighty VR6 in 1991.

With typical thoroughness VW used the newer ‘A3’ platform from the MKIII Golf for the new model, and the 2.9-litre VR6 engine is so narrow it slipped easily into an engine bay designed for more humble units.

It’s powerful too; with 188bhp and 181lb.ft of torque, the Corrado has a top speed of 145mph after passing 60mph in under seven seconds.
