Need for Speed: New VW Scirocco

VW Scirocco just unveiled a couple weeks ago, with Versatile and affordable features. Driving footage of the all new VW Scirocco is very much welcomed by the CarFans . Hand-brake turns, playing chicken with cops and burn-outs are outright applauded! Throw in a helicopter and secret police (in high heels) and you have us shaking at the knees. Remind me some kind of Need for speed car racing game, fun to play with cops etc…

vw sciroccoIts all there to promote the new Scirocco which is destined to go on sale late this summer for a starting price of Euro 21,750 (in Germany). All in all an affordable sports car which has finally returned after too long an absence, the original Scirocco ended production in 1992.

Initially four engines will be on offer, three petrol TSI’s ranging from entry level 122 hp to the range topping 200hp with 280 Nm of torque. The diesel TDI produces 140 hp with 320 Nm of torque with the range’s best fuel economy of 5.4 liters per 100 km.

Maybe not all of you guys consider that the Vw Golf r36 is a supercar…after you read this ur thinking will definetely change! HGP unveiled its lates creation: the 640hp Golf (hu~). Powered by the 3.6 liter V6 engine found also on the Vw Passat R36, the modified vehicle has exactly 10hp less than the Golf W12 650 concept.

Nice colour, beautiful engine, with these performances the tuner had to change also the exhaust system, alloy rims and the brake discs with new ones capable to sustain these performances but to provide better handling too.

VW Scirocco is finally here!-Geneva preview

The guys over at VW haven’t yet unveiled the new model as they await the Geneva Auto Show to do that but a few pics have „leaked” on the Internet.

Resembling the Iroc concept,the new Scirocco won’t disappoint the fans that still dream of the first and second generations from the ‘70 and ‘80.
We’ll probably see a slightly modified Golf platform but the car is for the racing enthusiasts even though the Scirocco is a volume car with base engines with just over 100 HP.But those that want more power can choose the 200 HP 2 litre turbo engine and VW will most likely throw in some TDIs(105 HP, 140 HP and 170 HP).

The DSG transmission is also expected as optional and the interior which won’t be so different from the Golf will have sport seats.

All we have to find out is the price and if the tuning market will appreciate the new car.

Volkswagen Viseo, the OLED windscreen concept

The Viseo concept is Marc Kirsch’s degree aplication an has been made in colaboration with VW in Wolfsburg, Germany. What surprises my is that it’s a green car. All electric! But it has to be said that you can only fit 3 people in so it kinda makes sense.

Inspired by Santiago Calatrava’s work, the concept is cowered in a glass surface wich has applied on a flexible OLED screen. The removable booth stands because it looks like a brushed-up suitecase.
Frankly I dont’t think that VW will ever make this car, maybe not eve a prototype. But it’s a good exercise for our imagination and only that.

Eagerly awaited,the VW Golf 6 slowly shows its face…and muscles

The current GTI is a very appreciated model so its succesor MUST be perfect especialy since the 5th generation sold better than the R32.

VW has seen that just this image of a wolf in sheep’s clothes attracts people in buying a Golf so the aesthetic part hasn’t been changed much.In the Golf family a radical design change only occurs once every 2 generations so the Golf 6 has to keep tradition intact.golf 6

It has to be said that the guys from Volfsburg did allow themselves one eccentricity:an air scoop from the W12-650 concept.Those crazy germans….

The new generation will have the same front wheel drive but with a more powerfull engine:a 230 HP monster.

The transmissions also remains the same,as well as the body styles(3 and 5 doors).golf VI
