27: Volkswagen Corrado VR6
Few cars have enjoyed as brief of success as the Volkswagen Corrado VR6. Designed to be the pinnacle of German engineering, the car had a lot going for it. In addition to the interesting Porsche-inspired design, the car was also very fast. The 2.8 L V6 is generally regarded as one of the best engines to come out of a VW factory. There were only about 18,000 Corrados that made their way onto American shores, and even less of these were VR6 models. Taking the time to find one of these rare German gems in mint condition can be quite a chore.
But the result is a sports car that drives surprisingly well for being 30 years old. The Volkswagen Corrado VR6 didn’t need a fancy wing or any type of gimmick to sell. Instead, the car relied on an exceptional driving experience to entice buyers. The Volkswagen Corrado VR6 is truly one of the most prized sports cars to come out of the nineties.
