The
Volkswagen Scirocco Studie (Study - as in design study) R
was unveiled at the 2008 Bologna Motor Show. The Studie R
gives a good idea of what the upcoming hot version of the
Scirocco will look like, the Scirocco R.
Since its introduction the new Scirocco has lent itself very
well to customization and modification with its low-slung
almost coupe-like proportions and affordable performance.
The VW Scirocco Studie R is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged
engine which is related to the unit found in the Audi S3. This engine develops around 270 horsepower
and sends its power to the front wheels through a 6 speed,
double clutch DSG gearbox.
The styling of the Scirocco Studie R is discreetly flashy,
if that's possible. The aerodynamic modifications include
a deeper front bumper with larger air intakes, a roof mounted
rear spoiler, and a rear bumper with an integrated diffuser-style
center section with provisions for the twin exhaust pipes.
The Scirocco Studie R also comes with 19" five-spoke
wheels which fit snugly into the wheel arches thanks to lowered
sports suspension.
Inside the Volkswagen Scirocco Studie R is an upgraded interior
which features carbon
fibre trim, a sports steering wheel and supportive Recaro
sports
seats.
