Type53

Volkswagen began work on the Scirocco during the early 1970s as the replacement for the aging Karmann Ghia coupe, and designated it the Type 53 internally. The platform of the Golf/Rabbit and Jetta was used to underpin the new Scirocco, although almost every part of the car was re-engineered in favour of a sportier drive, and the model’s all-new styling, penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, was sleeker and sportier than that of either the Golf or Jetta. Launched six months before the Golf, the Scirocco went on sale in Europe in 1974 and in North America in 1975.

Geneva '73 - 50 Years on Volkswagen Scirocco, 1973, by Italdesign. VW choose the Geneva Motor Show to reveal the first generation Scirocco that replaced the Karmann Ghia in their model range and was initially built by Karmann. Its significance was much great than that however as it debuted their new front/transverse platform and engines that would go on to underpin the Golf (introduced in 1974) and herald the beginning of a new era for the company
