First of all, your hands tingle with anticipation and 7.2 seconds later – the time it takes for the Scirocco to accelerate from stationary to 100 kph – your heart starts to beat faster. The full sound of the high-torque 2.0 litre 147 kW (200 bhp) TSI engine will also make your pulse race.
It’s a pity that onlookers will not be able to fully appreciate the attractive lines and striking features when the Scirocco does justice to its name and sweeps past like a hot desert wind. (Price not included)
