We’ve previously heard news of the 3.2 litre V6 engine making its way out of Volkswagen’s Golf and Scirocco and instead being replaced with a high-powered version of Volkswagen’s 2.0 TFSI engine.
In this design study that previews the upcoming Volkswagen Scirocco R20T (rumoured naming conventional similiar to the existing R32 and R36), the 2.0 TFSI engine produces a good 270 horses, mated to a 6-speed DSG gearbox.
Also featured in the design study is an adjustable coilover suspension, big brakes with 4-pot calipers and a performance exhaust system.
Look after the jump for more shots of the Scirocco Study R.

the design is nice..beautiful..this is truly golf predecessor..
but…why r the sidemirrors made green n red? funny….
Cool… i love it….
270 horses from 2.0 liter! wow! i love to have that engine.
how much RM300K?
Two major ah beng elements, the hood and rear wing. Make the car less elegant than stock version.
But its interior is lil’ better than stock, love the bucket seats. Also notice, this version is clutch-less manual shift, gotta spend some time to suit oneself at the cornering.
3.6 liter V6 doesn’t sound impressive at all. Bigger cc engine only leads to 80′s.
guys, its just a showcar from another tuner company.
u either luv it or hate it !
This is a Volkswagen concept, not a tuner company car.
If this car make it into production, it will be a genuine rival of the new Ford Focus RS, which has got quite similar engine spec – turbocharged 2.0L, 270hp running through the front wheels. A perfect recipe for torque steer
, though Focus RS has a special front suspension called the RevoKnuckle.
But some sources say the engine might be detuned for production, maybe down to 240+hp…
wow.. very lapsap..
wow …
2 litre engine produces 270 bhp …
malaysia police should get some scirocco ..
to chase the mat rempit ..
hahax ..

yes Paul, u r right. VW presented this concept Scirocco Studie R at the bologna motor show. thanx for correcting my mistake.
btw, the upcoming VW Scirocco R20T might be competing against its sister co’s SEAT turbocharged 2.0-litre (240ps) Leon Cupra.
can we xpect this here soon !!!!
really in love with the scirocco. even a stock one will do for me.. wonder when it will reach our shores..
Dunno about the side mirror and I don’t think it’ll make to production if VW release it. Seriously, it’s gorgeous! Love the bucket seat and love to have it. Don’t worry Claxxion, VW will bring it to Malaysia by next year!! Hope to hear you have it one day dude…cheers!
no 3.2, dump in the bugatti v16
