VW Scirocco: Around and Around It Goes

Volkswagen latest Scirocco, its third car to wear the nameplate, has undergone some tweaking to ensure it competitiveness at the upcoming 24 hour race at the storied Nurburgring.




Like previous VW 'Ring racers, the car boasts Volkswagen's trick dual-clutch DSG gearbox, and a version of 2.0 liter FSI turbo I-4 making a stout 300 horsepower.

VW's commitment to making the Scirocco a sporting model within its lineup will likely cause the trickle down of some of the go fast bits and styling for the current road model, at least for those outside the US anyway.

Our take? A cool car for a cool track, and yet another cool item that won't see our shores.
