AFAIK the Scirocco R does have some sort of LSD or front wheels lock up mechanism...

If I can find the literature, I'll put it up :)

Yes, the same kind of "electronic differential lock" that appears in the Golfs AFAIK. Which is just marketting speak for a working TC system. Applies the brakes on the spinning wheel - transfers torque to the other wheel, slap on an ELSD sticker and call it a day. VWs marketting team should be proud..

Damn nice, that one Ange. Shame it looks as though it won't be coming to Oz.
The VW gurus are still saying it will compete too much with Golf GTI sales . . . . I can see why too! That's nice, real nice. Love the fat butt on it for some reason (possibly something to do with me being a convertible driver and admirer of VW Eos!!!!).

Don't know about that Ian...and yes the Eos is still a very nice vehicle...

There is a current report from VW Aust. suggesting otherwise...

I recently spoke to a manager at a large VW dealer here in Melb. and he seems to think VW Aust WILL 'eventually' bring in at least one or two variants of the Scirocco...

It will be (as he put it) after the initial strong interest of the new Golf Mk6 Gti is all over - so around 12 months away :)

Seems they are indeed worried about loss of interest for the Golf if the Scirocco is also on offer...

Most likey when/if it comes it will be the Scirocco R variant - exactly what we all want :cornut:

It'll do and looks fantastic as is, even without the external additions of that B&B example, we'll just have their engine tune for it, or better still APR Aust. (who already have extensive tunes for the Audi S3 and TTS with the same engine) are available to us locally :)
