2008 Volkswagen Scirocco Concept Photos
The Volkwagen Scirocco made it’s debut in 1974 as a simple coupe sports car based on the A1 platform shared with the Volkswagen Jetta and the Volkswagen Golf. It was the replacement for the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia coupe. The original Volkswagen Scirocco was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. It’s generations were sold up to 1992, and was replaced by the Volkswagen Corrado. There are now plans to bring back the Scirocco name in 2008.
The new 2008 Volkswagen Scirocco will once again share a platform with the Volkswagen Golf. The Volkswagen Scirocco will use the Volkswagen Golf Mk5’s platform, which is also used by the Volkswagen Jetta. The structure will be pretty much the same, except for the height. The Scirocco will be 10cm lower than the Golf.
Engine options will be the 1.4 liter 170 horsepower twin-charger TSI from the Golf GT, the 2.0 liter turbocharged 200 horsepower motor from the Golf GTI, and the normally aspirated 3.2 liter V6 making 250 horsepower from the Golf R32. Note that by the time it is launched, the R32 might have been replaced by an R36 moniker, which means a 3.6 V6 instead of a 3.2 V6.

As most of msian.. we only can be admirers.. look only la… but lucky we have this blog to see what’s goin on in motor industry…
How great it’s 1.4 engines can produce 170hp.. compare to Bestari only 74hp… now we know how sucks Bestari’s engines.. And we oso can know most of cars in msia have outdated… When we can expect this car arrive in msia??.. donno.. maybe next 10 years…& overprice some more..
I wish when AP is over.. they will stop manipulate us & cars for the cronies to make profit.. pls stop & let the people fulfil their dream… our market is worse then china.. shame to msia.. it has turned into new type of country.. Capmunist = Capitalist + Communist.. special term for Malaysia…. Some people might be angry when I say this, but tell me why I cant said so… I guess many frens here wud agree oso… Malaysia mmg boleh.. & very good in making new terms in dictionaries.. MSC la, glokal la, infotainmen la and now CAPMUNIST…. New English term for new ideology and market behaviour in Malaysia…
