Wolfsburg (23 May 2008): Volkswagen unveiled the “Scirocco GT24”, the 325 hp race version of the new Scirocco in a special design, at the legendary GTI meet in Austria on Thursday. The two-door Coupé makes its race debut only two days later in the 24-hour race around Nürburgring. “This car doesn’t even have to move to look quick. The blue-white coloured Scirocco GT24 sits so deep in its widened wheel arches that not even a finger fits between the arch and the tyre. However, from every angle the race version remains unmistakably a Scirocco,” says Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, Board of Management of the Volkswagen Brand with responsibility for Development, who sits at the wheel himself during the motorsport marathon in the Eifel. Both Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen and Volkswagen Motorsport Representative Hans-Joachim Stuck who were at the Wörthersee were impressed by the response from the visitors: “The enthusiasm for the new Scirocco is enormous – at the Wörthersee and also the Nürburgring. We are proud to be able to demonstrate this wonderful Coupé in race action before its market launch.”
