Popular motoring news website, WorldCarFans, have recently posted a video of the new Scirocco in motion. This video shows up close what the new 200PS Volkswagen model looks like on the road. Recently launched at the 2008 Geneva
Motorshow. 34 years after it was first introduced to the public, also
at Geneva, we can finally see what is billed to be Volkswagens
affordable sports coupe.

Affordability comes too with the engine options. A common rail 140PS
diesel, along with a 122, 160 and 200PS petrol engines should ensure
appropriate levels of performance, economy and CO2 output in relation
to road tax. Every engine features a charger of some kind to maximise
power and minimise fuel. A six speed manual gearbox is standard with
the option of the first transverse mounted seven speed DSG.
Inside, the car is a four seater, the design of the seat layout will
be transfered to the Passat CC. Leather and Alcantara options join two
navigation choices, the second being the latest touch screen technology
with built in hard drive. White bespoke dials finish the instrument
cluster.
Active suspension, similar to the Audi TT and a panoramic glass roof top the options list of a fairly impressive standard car.
