    1978 VOLKSWAGEN VW SCIROCCO Lot of (2) Genuine Vintage Ads ~ NANCY JAMES
    1978 VW Volkswagen Scirocco original vintage advertisements. Lot of (2) ads.
    DESCRIPTION:
    THE 1978 SCIROCCO.
    Feast your eyes, while you can, on the 1978 VW Scirocco.
    We got one to stand still long enough to get its picture taken.
    But standing still hasn’t been the Scirocco’s favorite thing.
    Its favorite thing has been winning.
    We designed a 170 horsepower, 150-mile-an-hour souped-up racing
    version of Scirocco that blew the doors off Jaguars, Corvettes, etc. at Nelson Ledges and went on to win the '76 Trans Am Championship for Touring Cars under 2 liters.
    For you, we build the ’78 Scirocco with a more modest 1.5-liter fuel-injected overhead cam engine. With stripes and spoiler, a la the Limited Edition above. Or in dazzling street clothes, a la the
    best-looking Volkswagen that you’ve ever seen.
    Either way, Scirocco goes cheerfully from 0 to 50 mph in 8.2 saucer-eyed seconds. It also holds 4 breathless people and 16 cubic feet of trophies.
    Front-wheel drive. Rack-and-pinion steering. Mind-warping handling. Giugiaro styling.
    And you’re just sitting there?
    VOLKSWAGEN DOES IT AGAIN.
    GET THE SECRET BEHIND NANCY JAMES FORMULA:
    SCIROCCO.
    Nancy James races that horizontal missile up there on the right.
    It's called a Formula Super Vee, and in the Robert “ Bosch / VW Mini-Indy Series, it hurtles down the straightaway at a teethgritting 165 mph.
    What hurtles it is a Volkswagen Scirocco engine. Modified to be sure, but Scirocco nonetheless.
    Surprised? We’re not. Our Scirocco is one racy car.
    Look at it. It’s a 2+2 sports-car with sleek Giugiaro styling that shows you what you’re in for. Drive. One absolutely gratifying drive.
    Try it. Go on. Get in. Now settle back, and start the engine. Scirocco's 1.5-liter fuel-injected overhead cam engine shoots you from 0 to 50
    in a matter of 8.2 seconds.
    Take it through its paces. Scirocco is no ordinary mechanism. With front-wheel drive, rack-and-pinion steering, and power-assisted front disc brakes, you get handling that’s almost eerily responsive.
    It may seem extraordinary that Scirocco’s design leads to thrills, chills and excitement on the track. But it’s no secret what it leads to on the road. Pure pleasure.
