Volkswagen Scirocco Model Overview

Designed to be a sporty replacement for the Karman Ghia (that unique Beetle alternative offered by VW from 1955 to 1974), the Scirocco fits in well stylistically with the Rabbits and Dashers of the mid-1970s, and with good reason. The Scirocco was designed by automotive architect Giorgetto Giugiaro, who also created the looks for both of the Scirocco's mid-'70s siblings. It was a distinctively angular look, designed to give an impression of sleek, fast automobiles, and in fact the Scirocco was quick, nimble, and an instant success for Volkswagen.
