New 265 PS Volkswagen Scirocco R unveiled!
Here’s the hottest version of the Volkswagen Scirocco so far, released just in time for the Scirocco race car’s Nurburgring 24 hour race entry.
This blue devil is the new Volkswagen Scirocco R, and it is powered by a boosted up version of the firm’s venerable 2.0 liter TSI EA888 engine, now producing 265 PS and 350Nm of torque, which is similiar to the motor found in the Audi TT-S and the Audi S3. This engine drives the front wheels only, through an XDS front differential lock.
The Scirocco R gets its own bodykit which Volkswagen says is largely based on the Scirocco GT24 race car. The front bumper features large air intake openings which will provide adequate cooling for the boosted up engine, and the rear features a black diffuser and dual chrome tailpipes. The side profile is dominated by the 18 inch Talladega design alloy wheels.
As always, look after the jump for a full gallery!

i think they did a great job in the car’s design. i don’t think vw has a pretty aggressive outlook, until now. and the engine certainly is powerful with 265 hp man! woohoo! RM200k in malaysia?

Speechless… (but still want to say something)
This is soo true to VW adverts last time… ‘Unpimp my ride!’
This car is perfect as it is! Maybe i’ll change the rims, but that’s a matter of taste!!
…and what’s under the hood defo compliments the look!!!

This is the 20th times in 2 days i come to this post… cant get enuff of this piece of motoring art!
May 21, 2009 @ 9:15 pm
that is one HOT ROC!!
been waiting 4 this 2 come out since VW said they were making it.. gotta be honest, was expecting 4WD actually.. but then wit the new RS Focus, i guess VW think they could work the same magic 4 this new Roc (lets juz hope they do).. gotta say, the newer more agressive look, really works!! it looks angrier, but at the cost of appearing too try hard or moronic..
love 2 see one in white!!
May 22, 2009 @ 12:02 am
[quote comment="240107"]…….RM200k in malaysia?[/quote]
200k in malaysia? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
In your dream pal. Not in a thousand years. Even the new MK6 will cost you more than that.
May 22, 2009 @ 12:26 am
200K ? Hehe … at least 280K man …
May 22, 2009 @ 2:50 am
love it so much but i don’t think it’ll be in malaysia
May 22, 2009 @ 3:40 am
Such a pity, certainly it will not be here in Bolehland, even though can import, i think price will be more than what R32 is selling here 300k?
May 22, 2009 @ 9:03 am
Very nice car!!
May 22, 2009 @ 3:17 pm
Scirocco coming to Malaysia this year together with the Golf MKVI…

May 23, 2009 @ 9:29 am
I would get one…..if it came down. Though I didn’t say how I would get it. =)
May 23, 2009 @ 4:47 pm
Paul,
Dont think its the newer EA888 TSI, its still the older TFSI. Good enough for me! Too bad its only FWD. Even though its not 4motion, its heavier than the TTS!
May 23, 2009 @ 4:58 pm

No it is the new EA888 TSI. They’ve completely replaced the old engine with the new EA888 even in the last few batches of Mk5 Golf GTI. EA888 doesn’t necessarily mean it has to have the Valvelift feature that some Audi EA888 has.
