2010 Volkswagen Scirocco R20T

vw-scirocco-2-lFor the love of God why does VW keep all the cool cars in Europe?!This drives me nuts! Incase it wasn’t bad enough that the Scirocco isn’t comming to the U.S., Volkswagen  is releaseing the R20T.  Well wait just a second, I just happend to find this little article on How Stuff Works.

Here’s an excerpt:

It’s not a done deal yet, but VW’s new sporty compact coupe may be coming to America after all. With GTI spirit and sexier style, the reborn Scirocco should be a bona fide European driving machine with good fuel economy and a reasonable price.

Regardless to whether or not this bad boy is due to hit the States, the Scirocco has a 2.0L 4 cylinder pumping out around 200hp. Not to mention it’s beautiful. But then agian I’m a tad partial to the hot hatch segment and the Scirocco is one hot hatch. The R20T is rumored to be powered by the same 265hp 2.0L 4 cylinder found in the Audi TT-S. Which leads one to wonder if the Scirocco would inherit the Audi’s all wheel drive system?

Nurburgring Map

The R20T may be making it’s debut at the 24 hours of the Nurburgring. Which if you are unsure what that is, it’s possibly the best race track int he world. And you can drive it when ever you like, so long as you care to fly to Germany.
