Scirocco MK1 Eighties Sunset Artwork

History behind the design

Volkswagen began work on the car during the early 1970s as the replacement for the aging Karmann Ghia coupe, and designated it the Typ 53 internally. Although the platform of the Golf was used to underpin the new Scirocco, almost every part of the car was re-engineered in favour of a new styling (penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro) which was sleeker and sportier than that of the Golf. Type 1 models featured a range of four-cylinder engines with displacements from 1.1 to 1.6 litres, with a 1.7 also offered in North America, all featuring a single-overhead camshaft and two valves per cylinder.

The flashy 80's style

Bright neon colours, compact cassettes, VHS. Just a few things that belong to the eighties tag. Our number-one series "Eighties Sunset" combines visual appeal of synthwave inspired aesthetic with remarkable interior designs of the golden era automotive world. Unsurpassed amount of detail and period-defining colorimetry creates incurable nostalgia with its own identity. In the artwork you can see Grundig Braunschweig 2 radio, early MK1 Wolfsburg steering wheel and many more details that we took our time to do.
