Volkswagen Scirocco 2009 Sportscar

The new Scirocco is one of the most attractive sports cars in terms of price. It is the right choice as an affordable sports car for every day of the year16 June 2008; the countdown is running for the new era Scirocco: the third generation of the sports car will already be arriving on the market in August. And yet its standard features place it on the same level as far more expensive coupés. Volkswagen is staging the comeback of a legend with the debut of the two-door car – Scirocco generations I and II wrote history as the most successful Volkswagen coupé of all time with about 800,000 units sold. Car parts involved are 17-inch alloy wheels, height-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, leather steering wheel, parking brake handle and shifting lever grip, sport seats, split folding rear seatbacks, power windows, air conditioning, ESP, braking assistant, six airbags, power steering and of course a sport chassis. . On the top 200 PS model, standard equipment also includes chrome tailpipes, a “Titanium black” roof liner and a sound generator.

The new Scirocco is extending this tradition. It offers pure driving pleasure, a new powerful design, high-end technologies such as DCC adaptive chassis control and the new 7-speed DSG dual clutch transmission. Plus: exclusive use of efficient turbo engines with up to 147 kW / 200 PS power, space for four adults despite its sporty lines, an extremely high level of safety and the everyday utility that is typical of every Volkswagen. This mix of passion and logic costs far less than one might guess based on the car’s key data. Although the third generation of the Scirocco follows exactly the same positioning as the first one, Volks¬wagen very intentionally avoided retro elements. In this regard too, the Scirocco of the year 2008 is a conceptually counterpart to the original version: because in the mid-1970s the successor to the Karmann Ghia also set out on new paths, both technically and visually.

Based on the on flawless sports car fundamentals, the Volkswagen design team created a wagon-coupé. This resulted in a side profile that had the potential to imbue this new Volkswagen too with a status that goes beyond class distinctions. Car parts has sweeping roofline and near-vertical rear window, it also frees up space for variability and up to 755 liters of cargo capacity. Benchmark figures of the new sports car also speak a clear language. With its short overhangs, the Scirocco efficiently utilizes its 2,578 millimeter wheelbase to offer ample space. The Volkswagen is 1,404 millimeters tall, exactly 4,256 millimeters long and its width measures 1,810 millimeters.

The new Scirocco has a transparent roof. Supplying vast amounts of light to the interior is an optional large panorama vent sunroof that extends from the A-pillars to the B-pillars. The transparent roof opens up to 39 millimeters when the sun is intense. A sunshade can be driven into place. The glass of the panorama vent sunroof only transmits 8.2 percent of the UV radiation, 2.8 percent of the infrared radiation (heat) and 6.9 percent of the visible light.
