Volkswagen Scirocco Typ 53

1974 – 1981

The Volkswagen Scirocco is a sport compact hatchback offered in three generations by Volkswagen between 1974 and 2017. It featured a three-door design, front-engine, and front-wheel-drive configuration. The car's name originates from the Mediterranean wind. In the first generation introduced in 1974, Volkswagen developed the Scirocco to replace the aging Karmann Ghia coupe. Internally designated as the Typ 53, the Scirocco was extensively re-engineered with a sleek and sporty design envisioned by the renowned designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro.
