Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 World Premiere

The world premiere of the new Volkswagen Scirocco stunned the world as the German auto manufacturer presented the 239 kW (325 PS) version of the new Volkswagen Scirocco at the well-known GTI Meet at Wörther Lake. A team of iconic drivers will begin the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in the sports version of the Scirocco for two days later. The new Scirocco, consequently, will be the main attraction at two trendy occasions for car fanatics at the same time. Volkswagen will be showcasing the racing version of the Scirocco GT24 at Wörther Lake in a world premiere.

"This car doesn’t need to be driven to look fast. The Scirocco GT24 with the blue-white finish sits so low on its extended wheel wells that a hand will not fit between the wheel arch and the tyre. Yet the race car remains unmistakeably a Scirocco from every angle. Just even wider, even longer and even lower," says Volkswagen Chairman for Development Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, who will not be sacrificing the chance to get behind the wheel in the race to be held in the Eiffel.

In addition to this, the 325 PS Scirocco will be driven as well during the race by legendary drivers such as world champion Carlos Sainz and Hans-Joachim Stuck, three-time winner of the 24-hour Nürburgring race. Before I forget, "Striezel" Stuck won the very first 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 1970. The Scirocco GT24 is competing thirty-eight years later today. Everyone is looking forward to this event for another thrilling moment to be placed in history books once again.
