In march 1981, the vw scirocco ii is launched with a completely new look: “the new scirocco. Excitingly sensible” is the slogan used for its market launch. The scirocco ii is once again developed and produced by karmann in osnabrück. Like its predecessor, the new scirocco is based on the vw golf i platform. With its timelessly elegant body designed by giorgio giugiaro, also responsible for the golf i, the scirocco, named after an african desert wind, hit the 2+2-seater coupé segment like a whirlwind.Meaning:Warm wind.

What is the most powerful VW Scirocco?
As the flagship performance coupe, the VW Scirocco R is the most powerful Scirocco ever produced. The Scirocco R gives Volkswagen’s fantastic coupe the performance to match its stunning looks. Under the bonnet, 261bhp has been squeezed from the 2. TSI engine. First up is our current favourite, the Audi TT. It’s powered by the same engine as the Scirocco, and is great to drive, has a fine cabin and is a strong contender in the style stakes. But if you want a beautiful coupé, look no further than the Alfa Romeo Brera.

As a desirable and sporty coupe the Scirocco will hold its value well too.Volkswagen Scirocco A sporty model that looks great and carries the Volkswagen badge of prestige, the VW Scirocco is a great choice in the diesel variant as it holds value well.

How does the Scirocco compare to a GTI?
The Scirocco’s cornering stance is also more throttle-adjustable, the rear edging out slightly (but predictably) where the GTI’s would have stayed resolutely put. The difference is slight and only discernible at the absolute limit, but ultimately it makes the Scirocco that bit more playful, that bit more fun. Conclusion. The only reason to really pick the Scirocco R over the Golf R is for the looks. Honestly, as much as we love its sure-footed handling and aggressive styling, you’d feel a little silly knowing you could have bought a faster car for the same money. The Golf R is a cruise missile.Scirocco (2014- 2018) The last Scirocco was built in 2018.
