The fastest FWD in Autozeitung and propably in every track.I love this car!

Autozeitung 03/10

0-100: 5,7
0-160: 11,8

Test Track: 1:42,6

The official WV site claims a 0-100 kmh in 5.8. So even better for 0-60 mph

Annonymous, I have a westfield with 160bhp; on a windy road in the dry with flowing corners I will beat most 200 plus cars based on family saloons and small hatches. Weight matters and effects cornering ability and breaking. Huge power does not make a fast car in real word conditions and 0-60 times are not as important as mid range acceleration. The Golf R with the 260 bhp engine is AWD, the scirocco isn't and will weigh over 80 kg less. I would swap the AWD for a lighter car and go for teh scirocco (providing the chasis can handle the power through the front end). And people only buy Mustangs in the states where there are few bends.
Cheers

What a beautiful car and once again but, power power power is low. It will be a very average seller and do not look at the hp numbers, look at 0-100, because everybody want a very quick off the line car and if an acura tsx will beat this no problem whats the point, these companies just dont get it. Why do you think people still buy mustangs, they know their getting junk, but its fast junk.

The Scirocco R was due to hit the showrooms in Sept 09, but VW are currenlty saying that production is running late so we may not see it hit the showrooms until early 2010.
It will be front wheel drive like the Focus RS2, so only time will tell how it handles with all that power under the bonnet (i.e. it's basically a front wheel drive S3). Can't believe the specified 0-60 time though, its got to be quicker, being quite light?

The Scirocco is based on the PQ35 platform used in the Golf, A3, Leon, Octavia, Jetta, Eos, Tiguan, Q3, Caddy, Touran, Altea, Toledo, Golf Plus, TT (MkII)
The Passat is based on the PQ46 only used for the Passat, Superb and Passat CC and not like many belive with the A4

i believe the scirocco is AWD, i also think its built on the same platform as the passat so it makes seance that it would be front wheel drive

Why isn't it AWD?

any word on price?

this will give the RS and the R26R a Run for its Money..

Wayyyy, nother level than a Golf!!
