I was going to buy one of these but as soon as the salesmen said yeah they are working on a type R edition I stopped.

 

They are about to announce the R20T version at le mans. This will have a 2.0L Turbo'd engine rather than a V lump. It is to have 270bhp and is the new golf engine not the older one in the current scirocco.

 

They havent released if FWD or 4WD but they think it is going to be the 4Motion system.

 

I am waiting until this one is released. Plus it will come with more aggresive styling as was seen on the competition Scirocco they raced at nurburgring last year

exactly. I drove the current one and while its a nice car with reasonable poke its amazing how used to the power of our cars you get. Was a little bored.

 

This car should have had more than 200bhp from the start if its to be a real hot hatch. At least with 270bhp its getting there and can compete with the VXR, R26 and the mazda 3 mps which i was surprised to see had the most BHP of all hot hatches.
