    Affen-Geil! Need For Speed Undercover VW Scirocco

    Seems like EA Deutschland is getting their slice of this SEMA-style customizing madness by cramming a Scirocco with every bit of video game paraphernalia they could draw together (ed - no Master System though). This little hatch is packed full of 30" screens, a XBOX 360, Playstation 3 and enough heart-stopping audio gear to give Frankie Rio wood. After running the German-flavored article through a little free online translator action, we gather that this is simply a new 'Rocco that's been vinyl wrapped, black rimmed and irreparably wronged.

    Report: VW Scirocco May Come Stateside After All

    Automotive News Europe is reporting that Volkswagen may reverse course on the new Scirocco and offer the vehicle in the United States. VW execs originally opted not to sell the Scirocco here due to fears it would cannibalize sales from the GTI and because the strong Euro would have made the car too expensive. Since then, the dollar has gained and the new Scirocco has been enough of a hit in European markets to cause those same executives to see dollar signs on these shores. VW spokesman Steve Keyes said "there's no real decision yet," but if the car were to come here it would be positioned "a little bit differently."

    VW Scirocco Hypothetically Tuned By ABT

    The new Volkswagen Scirocco may just be hitting the roads, but somehow tuner ABT Sportsline has already released their version of the swoopy hatch. Oh wait, no they haven't, these are just renderings. Yes, as has become common practice for tuners anxious to get a jump on the competition, ABT has resorted to releasing Photoshop-enhanced pictures of a standard Scirocco to display the aftermarket upgrade package they allegedly have. The car claims to bump up the power of the 2.0-liter engine to 240 HP, to be sent to your choice of gaudy, oversized rims. Of course, we can't get the Scirocco in America anyways, so we'd rather fantasize about the Scirocco GT24 Nürburgring endurance racer. Press release after the jump.

    2009 Volkswagen Scirocco, Driven

    Answering the prayers of Vee-Dub fanboys, the new 2009 Volkswagen Scirocco is the first real VW sport coupe since the Corrado. There's just one problem: the car isn't available on our American shores. However, our friend John Mahoney over in the UK has driven it, and he seems to quite like it.

    2009 VW Scirocco Available For Order, Hotter Version On The Way?

    V-Dub has announced they are taking orders for their Euro-only 2009 Volkswagen Scirocco. While the latest iteration of the two-door sport hatch won't be getting the 325 HP engine seen in the 24-hour Nürburgring race-prepped Scirocco GT24, it will still be getting some respectable scoot. The Scirocco will officially be running a 197 HP, 2-liter TFSI powerplant, but the presser hints at more. Initial volume is slated at 3,350 cars for the UK and "around 9,000 in 2009 when a full line-up is available." Is the peoples' car company planning more chutzpah for the 'Roc? Hard to say, but we're sure nobody would complain if they are.

    Official Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 Photos, Looks Ready for Race Day

    You knew it was coming, and we've seen a head-on shot of the Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 race car, but now the full studio set is out for the ogling. The standard issue and Euro-only Scirocco has been modified with more turbo pressure pushing output to 325 HP, while the chassis has been widened and lowered, aero bits added, full roll cage and gutted interior with a rally style shifter falling close at hand. We think it looks rather smashing in its blue and white livery and kinda wish the normal Scirocco had more of these styling elements. Of course, every car wold look better if there was a "Race Car" box on the options list. Look for the Scirocco GT24 to run at the 24 hours of Nürburgring in June and details about the car below.

    Volkswagen Builds 300 HP Scirocco For Nürburgring 24-Hour Race

    A lot of people think VW's upcoming Scirocco could use a little more oomph under the hood. The stock engines are rated from 122 HP to 200 HP, but this new version has a 300 HP version of the 2.0-liter TFSI inline-four. That's because the car has been race-prepped specifically for next month's 24-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring. More »

    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.

    VW Scirocco Breaks Cover Early

    Who gives a flying hoot about the fuzzy and crooked leaked manual or concept photos when we have the real deal live and in color, at least thanks to Motor Authority. If you really want to compare it to the original Iroc concept photos, the production model appears to be a bit boxier and the metal grills seems to have disappeared among other design changes.
