On test: Volkswagen Scirocco R

Updated



The Scirocco has been on sale in the UK since 2008 but it took Volkswagen another year to produce the ultimate R version and we've just spent a week discovering its charms.

Basically a road going version of the Nürburgring 24 Hours class-winning GT24, the car comes fitted with a 261bhp 2.0-turbocharged engine, a top speed of 155mph and scorches its way to 60mph in just 6.4 seconds.
