[b]Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 review:[/b]


GTI Meet 2008: Gentlemen, start your engines!
World premiere of the Scirocco GT24 with 325 PS

Volkswagen
will present the world premiere of a 239 kW (325 PS) version of the new
Scirocco today at the legendary GTI Meet at Wörther Lake. For two days
later, a team of legendary drivers will start the 24-hour race at the
Nürburgring in the sports version of the Scirocco. Thus, the new
Scirocco will be in the spotlight at two cult events for car
enthusiasts at the same time.


Volkswagen is presenting the
racing version of the Scirocco GT24 at Wörther Lake in a world
premiere. "This car doesn`t need to be driven to look fast. The
Scirocco GT24 with the blue-white finish sits so low on its extended
wheel wells that a hand will not fit between the wheel arch and the
tyre. Yet the race car remains unmistakeably a Scirocco from every
angle. Just even wider, even longer and even lower," says Volkswagen
Chairman for Development Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, who will not be passing
up the opportunity to sit behind the wheel in the race in the Eiffel.
The 325 PS Scirocco will also be driven during the race by legendary
drivers like rally world champion Carlos Sainz and Hans-Joachim Stuck,
three-time winner of the 24-hour Nürburgring race. Incidentally,
"Striezel" Stuck won the very first 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in
1970. Now, thirty-eight years later, the Scirocco GT24 is competing. It
draws its power from only two litres displacement: the 16-valve direct
injection engine with a turbocharger and intercooler delivers its
maximum torque of 340 Newton metres beginning from only 2,100 rpm. Gear
changes are executed by a dual clutch gearbox (DSG), which is also
available for the production model.


The idea of an
affordable dream car was born in the 70s with the first Scirocco. The
success of this two-seat sport coupe continued for nearly 20 years,
during which time more than 360,000 Sciroccos were built. The
enthusiasm for this car has been uninterrupted since Volkswagen
presented the new version of the Scirocco at this year`s Geneva Motor
Show. The new car appears to have struck a chord with car buyers and
will pick up with the success of the original Scirocco which, in the
mean time, has developed into a cult car.
