mikemod Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just seen this in autoexpress The Scirocco is hotting up! A pumped-up version of VW's Golf-based coupe is on the way to be badged the R20T, Auto Express has learned. It will take its styling cues from the GT24 racer, unveiled last year, and looks set to offer a range of performance enhancing modifications including a wider track with flared wheel arches. The newcomer will also get an aggressive body kit and lowered suspension, as well as a bespoke interior, featuring bucket seats and a sued rimmed steering wheel. Drivers will be offered a choice of manual and seven speed semi automatic gearbox, but instead of using the thirsty and heavy 3.2-litre V6 from the last generation Golf R32, it will be fitted with more fuel efficient 261bhp 2.0-litre turbo unit from the Audi S3. Looks good ,Scirocco, minus the white strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigit Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 this has been no secret, can't wait looking like my GT will be finding a new home in 2010, would be good to see if they use a trick diff rather than the weight of 4wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy2shots Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 sciroccokarteiMay i ask what the article said as i cannot find it on there website. Thank you Geoff. It says this is not the R20T but a one off design. The colours i think were from the desighner for the Bolognia show. The R20T will be alot more understated. Expect it to have the same power plant as the R20 golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
