Volkswagen officially launched its all-new Scirocco just a few months ago at the Geneva Motor Show, and it looks as though a hotter ‘R’ version of the hatch is on the way. A teaser image of the Scirocco R surfaced on the web just yesterday but our artists have already created a rendering of what the hot-rod Scirocco will look like.
Although not radically different than the standard Scirocco, the R version is expected to use large air intakes up front and have a slightly lower stance. A more aggressive wheel and tire package is almost a given.

It remains to be seen what powerplant VW will put under the hood of the Scirocco R, but the most likely candidate is the 250 horsepower 3.2L V6 used in the Golf R32. The Scirocco R will also likely use the R32’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
