Volkswagen Collard, which has an excellent maneuverability and a comfortable inside car, is evaluated as a driver's car.Due to the highly expensive new car prices, it is rarely supported, as it is becoming a classic car.

The body by Kalman is also attractive.But if you want more value, the specs are important.2.0-97km/h acceleration of 0 8V 11.5 seconds, but VR6 6.You can do it in 4 seconds.Not a small difference.Before you start your collard life, you should clarify what you want.

The V6 engine of the natural intake mounted on the VR6 is the same length as the four -cylinder engine, and the six -cylinder is brilliantly consolidated.The V -bank angle was as small as 15 degrees, covering both banks with one cylinder head.

Volkswagen modified the suspension to catch the increase in VR6 and put on a wide flat tire.The result is wonderful, and in AutoCar in 1992, it summarizes the fastest mass -produced FF models that have been produced so far.

Outstanding maneuverability than four -cylinder collads.The huge middle -turn torque and intellectual traction control were combined, with the ability to chase many sports cars.

At the time, AutoCar also predicts that it will be evaluated as a classic."We are not surprised if the collard decorates the top of the classic car media as one of the highest models in history 20 years later."When.

V6 engine VR6 is very popular.At the same time, the G60, which added a four -cylinder engine as a supercharger, is also a collaboration that gains strong support.

The first attraction is driving experience

Car designer Herbert Shafer worked on the body design.It was the successor model of the second generation Sirocco, but at the beginning of the release, two were at the same time as a European dealer.

The platform is A2 from the Volkswagen Group.But VR6 has a suspension for A3, and the front tread is wide.In order to cover the tires that go outside, they also have a fleshy fender and bumper.

The glass is gently assembled with the body surface, and it also has an active rear spoiler that stands up at 100 km/h or more.It is stored when it is 25km/h or less, but can be variable manually.It is a suitable equipment for a mini supercar.

Collards are more than 30 years since their birth, and some parts are becoming more difficult to find.The body is zinc plated, but in an example that has been left for a long time, rust should have occurred.Many cases have been remodeled to the owner preference.

If you are looking for a collard, I want to find one of the owner's affection has been poured enough.I want to be prepared for typical defects, such as exchanging sunroof guides and heater matrix.

The charm of the collard is the driving experience.Combined with his high -quality riding comfort and exhilarating power performance, he gained the heart of the car critic at the time.

It is very important to maintain the state of damper and bush.I do not recommend too much remodeling.It could lead to losing your precious sophistication.
