VW Presents The Scirocco GT24 At The GTI Meet 2008
We live in interesting times, definitely. With so many cars able to
reach outputs of more than 1,000 bhp, a 325 bhp vehicle may not sound
very impressive, but wait until you see the VW Scirocco GT24, presented
at the GTI Meet 2008, in the city of Klagenfurt, Austria, near the
Wörther Lake. It may not be as fast as these machines, but it really
looks good.
The competition version of Scirocco takes all its 325 bhp from a
2-litre four cylinder turbocharged direct injection engine, also able
to deliver 340 Nm already at 2,100 rpm. The DSG transmission will also
be on the GT24, a reference to the first race the car will face, the
famous 24-Hour Nürburgring race, to take place next Saturday.
If the car is not as powerful as many of the other competitors, at
least it will have very good drivers to count on, such as Hans-Joachim
Stuck, Carlos Sainz and Ulrich Hackenberg, Volkswagen Chairman for
Development. In endurance races, resistance normally decides more than
outputs.
