Definitely that IS NOT the original SCIROCCO, the first one came out in 1974, it was the MK1 designed by Giorgetto Guigiaro of Ital Design, the one shown [mk2] was designed in house by vw, the ORIGINAL MK1 was light and nimble, a joy to drive and surprisingly quick, compact body with lots of space, a sweet little coupe, young folks today would love to trade their Hondas and Mazdas for this timeless machine, can you imagine, it came out when Pintos, Hornets and huge monsters ruled the roads, very well conceived and ahead of its time, today with a few mods it can be as satisfying as a Mini.

The new coupe shown has a very boring front end, cookie cutter facia, should really be more like the original mk1!

WOW!!!!! If this is really being produced by VW, then I hope it’s going to be brought into Malaysia. I’m starting to save now – I need it to keep my 1983 MarkII Scirocco Gti company;-)

You guys don’t remember the Honda F1 car of the eighties. It was 1.3L or 1.5 L and made over 1000 HP! I prefer bigger motors but if done right, a turbo can be pretty awesome. I like the car except for the chrome grill.

Sorry Paul. Didn’t read the print on it being a Golf chassis. The car just looks like a 4 point something litre. Looks like a bonafide supercar in a way. Sorry bout the 3.2 L Turbo, kinda forgot that the R32 was an NA. My bad

To have a feel what 160hp and 240Nm is …. try imagine fitting a 2.4 VVTi toyota camry engine into a small car like that . And Toyota Camry’s acceleration and top speed is not poor to begin with.

aksMS: This 1.4 litre super turbo is one of a kind. you get the low end power of the supercharger and high end boost of the turbo. What a combo!

TQ Paul. That’s an awesome figure for a 1.4 litre, even more pony than my C5! LOL! But still, it will be impressive if the production model around the size of a Golf. If it’s bigger, haiyo, bad mpg la. I think, from the look of this car it should go head on with the 3 series and SLK.

cbljkkkj: the golf chassis can put 4.3 or 5 liter motor meh? i think the 3.2 v6 is a tight fit already. i think that concept photo which i posted is a bit deceptive on the size of the car. i don’t think it’s as big as the 6-series.

btw the 3.2 v6 is normally aspirated… no turbo.

The car looks great but it doesnt fit the description of 1.4 Twin charged Superturbo. It looks like it packs a 4.3 or 5 litre motor. One things for sure, it has the looks no doubt about it. Definitely one of the most interesting concept design to come out of VW yet.

Gonna jump out of the topic for a moment. Guys do you think that they should put the latest VW R32 3.2L turbo engine in this car???

Uhh…1.4? They are kidding, arent they? I hope they do. It looks so mean and meaty and they wanna put a little pony to pull it? Just what a turbo can do to 1.4? Even the tiny C2 gets a 1.6 litres. Heh, 1.6 sounds even better. It should be 1.8 at least, sharing the Golf GTi engine or give it R32. That’s more like it. I’ll be drooling all over it! :p

i dun think it would significant less power than golf, because of twin turbo, VW may tuned the engine to fit this cool coupe.
