VW Scirocco Review
This countdown for the new era Scirocco: the third generation of the sports car will already be entering the market in August. Volkswagen featuring the return of a legend with the debut of two-door car - Volkswagen Scirocco generations I and II wrote history as the most successful Volkswagen coupé of all time with about 800,000 units sold.
Cult status. In particular, it is the original Volkswagen Scirocco presented in 1974 which has long held cult status. Because, unlike many of its competitors at that time, the Volkswagen Scirocco - designed by Giorgio Giugiaro - was an affordable car with everyday utility, and front-wheel drive also makes a safe sports car for every day use in a year.
Volkswagen Scirocco unites passion and logic
Fascination. New Volkswagen Scirocco is extending this tradition. He offers pure driving pleasure, a powerful new design, high-end technologies such as DCC adaptive chassis control and clutch 7-speed DSG dual. Plus: exclusive use of efficient turbo engines with up to 147 kW / 200 PS power, space for four adults despite its sporty lines, a very high level of safety and utility of the typical daily Volkswagen all. This mix of passion and logic costs far less than one might guess from the data key to the car.
New path. Although the third generation of the Volkswagen Scirocco follows exactly the same position as the first one, Volkswagen very intentionally avoided retro elements. In this case also, the 2008 Volkswagen Scirocco is a partner of the conceptual to the original version: because in the mid-1970s the successor to the Karmann Ghia also set a new track, both technically and visually.
Front and rear design of a new era
High-gloss black housing lights. The third is first Volkswagen Scirocco sports front design for a new era. Especially characteristic here are the chrome lamp bodies and high-gloss black interior surfaces are joined by leading housing lattice crossbar painted glossy black.
Flawless sports car fundamentals. Volkswagen design team created a wagon coupe based on the car is perfect basic. This results in a side profile that has the potential to instill Volkswagen too with a status that goes beyond class distinctions. Thank you for the long sweeping roofline and near-vertical rear window, it also frees up space for variability and up to 755 liters of cargo capacity.
Crisp dimensions. Other benchmark figures of the new sports car also speak a clear language. With short overhangs, the Volkswagen Scirocco efficiently using the 2578 mm wheelbase to offer ample space. Volkswagen is 1404 millimeters tall, exactly 4256 millimeters wide 1810 millimeters long and action.
Four turbo engines at market introduction
Lots of power for only a little fuel. A challenge by creating an affordable sports car involves the engines. First, they really must be agile, but it is also important that their economic and widely affordable. There are two approaches to solve this conflict is clear the two of them have three letters: TDI and TSI - turbocharged diesel and gasoline engines with direct injection.
A three TDI and TSI. At the market introduction Volkswagen will offer the Volkswagen Scirocco with two TSI engines (118 kW / 160 PS and 147 kW / 200 hp). Shortly thereafter, a TDI (common rail turbo diesel, 103 kW / 140 hp) and another TSI (90 kW / 122 hp) will be added to the various machines. Which determine here is the fact that even the 122-PS base engine offers maximum torque at very low engine speeds (200 Newton meters from 1500 rpm). Average fuel consumption of 6.1 liters per 100 kilometers shows considerable restraint.
5.4 to 7.7 liters fuel consumption. The combination of maximum torque and minimum consumption is a recurring theme in the various machines on top. In the latest case with TSI 160 PS, 240 Newton-meter torque contrasts with just 6.5 liters super unleaded per 100 kilometers. Even the 200 PS TSI with its pretty 280 Newton-meters of torque, fuel consumption was 7.7 liters. As expected, the TDI also makes a brilliant showing here: 320 Newton-meter torque strength while satisfied with just 5.4 liters of fuel. Incidentally, all engines up to 160 PS already satisfy the Euro-5 emissions standard in the future.
Two sharp shift dual-clutch transmission
6-speed and 7 speed DSG. Standard equipment on the Volkswagen Scirocco is a 6-speed transmission smoothly and precisely. DSG dual clutch transmission is optional on the three-started 140 PS engine. A 6-speed DSG is used with the TDI and the powerful 200 PS TSI. 160 HP TSI distributes its power over an even wider range of gears with the 7-speed DSG.
Optional sport chassis with three level settings
Clever Chassis. Ideally suited for the Volkswagen Scirocco new DCC adaptive chassis control. Not only is the damping characteristic controlled here, but also tuning of the electro-mechanical power steering. Adaptive chassis control offers the three programs "Normal", "Sport" and "Comfort". Important here is the fact that adaptive chassis control enhance the driving characteristics of the Volkswagen Scirocco full-time. In other words, continue the suspension adjusted to the road and driving situations. The system also reacts to inputs from the throttle, brakes and steering. It is capable of resolving the conflict in goals between tight sport suspension and comfortable.
Standard features
Complete the program. The new VW Scirocco is the most attractive sports cars in terms of price. And yet standard features place it at the same level as cut more. Also on board the 17-inch alloy wheels seat height adjustable driver and front passenger, leather steering wheel, parking brake handle and shifting lever grip, sport seats, split folding rear seat, power windows, air conditioning, ESP, braking assistant, six airbags, power steering, and of course the sports chassis. Of the 200 PS model, standard equipment also includes chrome tailpipes, a "Titanium black" roof of the boat and sound generator.
Panorama vent sunroof
Transparent roof. The provisions in large quantities in the light of the panorama vent sunroof extends from A-pillars optional to B-pillar. By pressing the transparent roof opens up to 39 millimeters. When the sun is very tight, blinds can be pushed upwards. But that may not be needed very often because the glass panorama vent sunroof only transmits 8.2 percent of UV radiation, 2.8 percent of infrared radiation (heat) and 6, 9 percent of visible light.
