2010 Vw Scirocco R
Details on the Volkswagen Scirocco R have recently come out with the introduction to the European motoring press. There are two versions for the 2.0-liter, 265-horsepower front-wheel-drive hot hatch: six-speed manual and six-speed DSG. Either version is capable of getting to 62 mph in six seconds or less. The model is featured with the latest in technology and modifications. It is equipped with XDS electronic transverse differential lock to combat understeer, Dynamic Chassis Control for variable damping, Anti-Slip Regulation, and 17-inch brakes. There's no doubt that the Scirocco R is one powerful car. In fact, two Sciroccos won the 2.0-liter turbo class at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring earlier this year.
Press release: "The new Scirocco R is here. Power: 195 kW/265 PS. Character: genuine sports car. Performance: at its fullest. Handling: just like it should be. Fun factor: maximum. Car orders taken: effective immediately. That is why Volkswagen is presenting the car to the international press media at this time. And it is being presented in a region whose serpentine asphalt roads seem to attract the agile car: the French Maritime Alps high above the roofs of Nice. There are some stretches of road here that are identical to those of the Monte Carlo Rally, such as the climb to the legendary Col de Turini. Not only is the strongest Scirocco of all times right in its element here the new four-seat sports car is ideal as a dynamic performer and economical companion on the roads of everyday life as well. Always on-board as standard equipment: the XDS electronic transverse differential lock first introduced on the Golf GTI provides for optimal traction pro per ties and pure driving fun. R-CONCEPT R-Werte: 350 Nm, 265 PS, 250 km/h, 8,0 l/100 km, 5,8 s, Euro 5 R-DNA: The Turbo engine was derived from Scirocco GT24 race car Powerful, fast, fuel efficient and clean: The new Scirocco R a sports car without compromises The Scirocco R conceptualized by Volkswagen Individual is an impressive performance package with a brilliant engine and chassis, unique looks and exclusive features. Instead of the usual six-cylinder used so far in R-models of this segment, a boosted four-cylinder TSI is being used in the new Scirocco R. Its advantages: very high power and torque values with significantly reduced fuel consumption. On average, just 8.1 litres of super unleaded flows to the combustion chambers via direct injection per 100 kilometres of driving. That corresponds to CO2 emissions of 189 g/km top values for a fast 250 km/h (electronically limited) sports car. And it gets even better: when driven with the optional Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), these values are 8.0 litres and 187 g/km.
