 1986 VW Scirocco 8v (MkII) The Volkswagen Scirocco debuted in 1974 to replace the Karmann Ghia. It was introduced to North America in 1975. Designated internally by Volkswagen as the Type 53, the Scirocco retained its initial body style until 1981. 1982 featured a dramatic restyling of the Scirocco (Type 53B or MkII) with rounded body style, though it featured the same A1 chassis (shared with the VW Rabbit/Golf and the first-generation VW Jetta). The Scirocco's emphasis was sporting luxury, and options included a leather interior, power windows, side view mirrors, air conditioning, sunroof, and other amenities. Engines in the Mk I models ranged from 1.5 L to 1.7 L inline four-cylinder 8-valve designs, while the Mk II had 1.7 and 1.8 L 8-valve engines and the later Scirocco 16v had a 1.8 L 16-valve engine with enhanced performance. European models were not available with the 1.7 L engine, but with a 1.6 L engine. A mid-cycle redesign occurred in 1984, with few outward body changes; the more significant changes were from a full-size spare tire to a space-saver tire with an accompanying increase in size of the previously 10.5 gallon fuel tank, and a change to a larger rear spoiler. Sale of the Mk II Sciroccos continued until 1988 in the United States, 1989 in Canada, and 1992 in Germany. The Scirocco was replaced by the Volkswagen Corrado.
