Find of the Day: 1990 VW Corrado G60 Coupe

How would you like to be featured in an episode of Petrolicious? Buy this car, try on a vaguely European accent, and get a job that pays a weirdly large amount of money and you’ll be telling stories about the essence of your car in no time.

This time on Find of the Day, we’re featuring a one-owner, showroom quality 1990 Corrado G60 coupe.

The original owner was clearly a well-to-do guy, because he didn’t shy away from the options. This features the optional leather interior, original 15” factory wheels, sunroof, factory floormats, and the optional satin silver metallic paint.

Speaking of the paint, it and the body work are miraculously unblemished. According to the LuxSport Motor Group ad, the car has no dings or scratches, or even rock chips. Even the seats show few signs wear. The car was kept in a climate controlled garage and only saw 12,000 miles of road in its life.

It even still has all of its VIN stickers, books, manuals, keys, tools, and service records. The word fastidious springs to mind, as do a whole host of amateur diagnoses.

But one man’s compulsion is another’s treasure. This is a real rarity. Corrados in anything like original condition are becoming nearly impossible to find. Most were modified or raced, and the majority of those that weren’t have been or are being exported to Europe, where the market is even better.

The price reflects the condition at $13,700. The car is for sale in New Hyde Park, NY, so for God’s sake, wait until the spring rains wash away the salt before driving this one off the lot.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
