Being offered for $17,500 by a seller in Longueuil, QC with 116,600 kms, this 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V FWD manual coupe is finished in Flashrot red. This car is undeniably 80s; with its widebody, prominent rear wing, black door ding guards, and slim quad headlights. 

The Volkswagen Scirocco 16V was only produced from 1986-1988, hence the markup on it’s $12,300 original price. Indeed, the small statured Scirocco has aged well. It has a heavy cable clutch with incredibly short ratios, and it shares its A1 chassis with the Volkswagen Rabbit GTI. The 16V Scirocco arrived on the scene and became the fastest Volkswagen ever, going 0-60 faster than a contemporaneous Porsche 944 due to its negligible 2300 lb weight. With a high compression ratio, hydraulic lifters, and sodium-filled exhaust valves, the Volkswagen Scirocco 16V engine was notably advanced for its time, arriving as multivalve engines were just entering the mainstream.

Equipped with a 1.8-liter DOHC Inline-4, strut and coil springs front suspension, torsion beam and coil springs rear suspension, and vented disc brakes, this rad Volkswagen Scirocco 16V is sure to motivate nostalgic respect in the right buyer.
