The 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco, part of the model's second generation, is a front-wheel-drive two-door sports coupe. Powered by an in-line four-cylinder engine, the Scirocco was offered with both 1.8L, generating 123 hp, and a 16-valve 1.8L that produced 134 hp, mated to a five-speed manual transmission. It was admired for its spirited performance and handling dynamics. Unlike many competitors of its time, the Scirocco didn't offer an automatic transmission and thus catered to driving enthusiasts with a penchant for control and engagement. The interior was outfitted with comfortable and supportive sport seats and a well-designed dashboard.
