VW Corrado Diesel Conversion (1)
I don't know what year it was manufactured, but I believe that this Volkswagen Corrado is an early model that was originally equipped with the supercharged 1.8L "G60" engine.
I'd seen it in traffic in the past, but this time I found it parked *and* I had my phone with me to take a couple of pictures.
The owner wasn't around, and I would have liked to talk with him / her / them, but the car does appear to be powered by one of VW's turbocharged direct-injection (TDI) diesel engines.
I can only imagine how much documentation and effort was required in order to satisfy the emissions control (or "smog check") authorities.
