Screaming Yellow Zonker
The History of the Screaming Yellow Zonker
1987 16v Callaway Turbo GTi Syncro VW Motor Sport Prototype
The ZONKER is a 16v GTI prototype from VW Sport. The big difference is that it features All Wheel Drive and an ABS brake system. It was an evaluation vehicle for things to come from VW. It is a one-off, Custom yellow, concept vehicle based on a 16v GTI. This unique concept car was the forerunner to the Rallye Golfs. This was the only AWD vehicle VW imported into the us in 1987. And was the only Factory AWD Golf Syncro in the US up until recently (R34).
