VW Scirocco Revealed With Precise Video Action

Excited about the return on the VW Scirocco even if it won't be hitting U.S. shores? Well if you can't make it all the way to Geneva for the little auto show there, we've got the next best thing for you; video of the new squished-hatch "sportscar" during the official reveal with some shots of it on the road. OK, so it's not exactly an episode of Top Gear, and the driver isn't exactly doing his best Stig impression; but we're sure you've sat through an episode of MotorWeek before. Make the jump for B-roll footage with better cinematography.

Volkswagen Scirocco, Live And In The Flesh

We were more excited about the VW Scirocco coming back when we saw it in concept form as the "IROC" back at the Paris Motor Show two years ago. To be fair, that's really just because the prospect of a new car being called the "IROC" made us happy in so many way. Most of those ways involve sadism in some way, but happy nonetheless. Still, it's gone from concept to reality with so much changes, the only similarity between the concept and the production version are that the shape looks vaguely concordant. Also, Scirocco has "iroc" in it. Otherwise this coupe's supposed to hit the Euro market later this year at a cost of almost 22,000 multi-colored Euros. Full press release after the jump.

Proto-Scirocco? Volkswagen Iroc Concept

Our compadres at Eurocar Blog got hold of a few scans from an unnamed Spanish magazine that's allegedly published photos of Volkswagen's Iroc Concept (no, not IROC, Tony, ScIROCco), which will inform the company's upcoming Scirocco coupe. As EcB points out, the concept in these shots looks like an elongated VW Golf, with a connection to VW's Ecoracer concept it showed in Tokyo. The real Iroc will debut at the Paris motor show next month. No T-tops on this Iroc, though — it looks like it'll have a panoramic sunroof. More »

Over the Back Fence: VW to Show IROC Concept in Paris; May Hearken New Scirocco

No, not the kind of IROC that once roamed the boulevards of Staten Island like great iron steeds dipped in a huge vat of Armor All. According to supposition from a board member of VW Vortex, Volkswagen will show a concept car called the IROC, for ScIROCco at the Paris Motorshow in September. More »
