Ever since the 70ties, VW Scirocco, has been a two-seat sport coupe big hit that slowly became a cult for sports car enthusiasts worldwide; the 2008 edition promises to follow this tradition and be, just as its 70ties predecessor a champion.

VW Scirocco GT24, built to resist the 24 Hours Nurburgring Race – considered one of the most demanding in the world – the 11th placed overall and first in its class, Scirocco GT24 is not only an eye-catching model that looks and runs fast but a high performance and high endurance sports car.

Scirocco GT24 has upgraded racing dimensions – VW engineers added 227mm extra length to the Scirocco series model in order to gain aero-stability also 61 mm of width for the coverage of 18’’ racing rimes, moreover they reduced height with 75mm.

The interior has been stripped of 178 kg and also carefully prepared for the race: full roll cage, Recaro 5-points of harnesses seats, fire extinguisher, electronic racing instrumentation, and competition designed steering wheel.

Powered by a 4 cylinder 2.0 liter direct injection 16 valve turbocharged engine that can produce over 320 horsepower, with a 6-speed dual clutch gearbox, the racing version of Scirocco GT24 comes with an upgraded sporty style, combining mere power and elegance in order to provide adrenalin-overflowing drive excitement and even the most skeptic review won’t admit that that Scirocco hasn’t already won the hearts of all VW’s fans.

With embedded racing design touches, blue-white exterior, and just a wider, lower and longer sports coupe, Scirocco maintains the distinctive design lines, edges and angles that made it an icon for more than 38 years after its launch.

A success story, Scirocco is representing more then the concept of affordable dream sports ride, for some it has become a religion. The Scirocco GT24 agile, fast, high performance car is designed not only to compete but also to win.
