My goodness this car still looks so good several years later.
It has that vw look
@j Walsteryes, but 1 from the last 5 years. This car is from 2010! That crazy to me.
It never looked good lol 😂
and the facelift looks even better
I miss the days when Doug would climb into the back seats to prove how small they were
ikrrr
He was usually 6’3 on a good day back then
@Lehtola how tall is he now?
@CatInTheHat6’6
@CatInTheHat 6’13 I believe
*Doug is the type of guy to give a 7/10 for styling of the Volkswagen Scirocco*
Well the Alfa Brera is much better looking
It looks like a 2 door station wagon. Not even a 7/10 😂
I still can’t get over what remains of the goofy r32 front end, not a big fan of that generation of golf
@Harold Beauchampare you blind?
@Harold Beauchamp That would be called a ‘shooting break’.
You should take a European tour and review random cars we don’t get here. It would be epic!
Similar to his UAE tour a few years ago 🤩
This needs to happen! I would happily drive hours to let Doug review my car (it’s not particularly interesting though)
He’d get to Italy, see the Multipla, and never leave.
He addressed this in a video once and said that he doesn’t like to travel far if possible and he has a family now
Doug’s too lazy for that now a days lol already making bank so he doesn’t care to do more
What has not been mentioned is that the front bumper, side skirts and the lower rear bumper section are aftermarket parts too. The original Scirocco bumpers don’t look that aggressive.
I was wondering about that. My neighbour had a sirocco and it looked a lot more mundane than this.. this one looks like it has an Audi grille
The original “R” model looked so much better than this one.
I was about to say that. It’s an amazing project, but I’m really not a fan of the body kit
Pretty sure this is an ABT bodykit.
@ToolkiT73UK r8 style front
Great to see such a positive callout for HPA. They’re known to be the tuner you’d go to if you want to do some mods and make it 100% premium+
The Scirocco was initially designed in the VW studio in Simi Valley in 2005. Robert Lesnik was the designer, I was his digital modeller. Together in 3 weeks, we turned his sketch idea into a digital model that was milled full size in Wolfsburg for the board to see. They liked it, and the project was signed off. It was then continued in Germany and looks very much the same as Roberts first sketches.
Robert was the lead? Interesting. I hate his MB stuff though. But love his lectures when he visits his homeland. 🇸🇮
Why did America not get it?
Milled full size?? What is meant here? Milled out of clay?
@Alaskan donut Yes… the concept cars area at first modelled in clay, adding some parts and wraps to give the illusion than it’s a real car… that way the executives can have an idea about how would it look if it was real.
This is sooo cool. What a great build. I’m a huge Scirocco fan. My first two cars were Scirocco’s and I also owned a ‘90 Corrado. So when these came out only for Europe I was super bummed. Really cool that this is in the states. 👍🏼
Things like this are always so crazy cool. Good call Doug. Exceptional!
Brings back great memories of my friends ’81 Scirocco S. Got it new as a H.S. graduation present. One of the best handling cars ever! Too bad VW stopped selling them in the US.
I had this car in my early 20s. So fun. Mine was only a 1.4 L TSI with 122 HP but it is a super fun car!
122hp and “super fun” don’t really seem to go in the same sentence too me…
My Passat has 170hp (which drives more like 190hp) and I’d say it’s decently fun. 🤷
@Jason O well you did not drive the scirocco, only people who drove them know how fun they are. Just because it’s not extremely fast does not mean it’s not fun. I had a tlx a spec and now a mach E GT performance with 480hp and the scirocco was more fun to drive around corners. The GT is just extreme fast off the line.
@SCOTT the BULLET I test drove a Jetta which also had 120hp… It was terrible.
Otherwise, I could say the same thing about my Passat. After lowering it, putting aftermarket wheels on it, and increasing the front and rear track, I would bet money it corners just as good as your Scirocco.
@SCOTT the BULLET Cars like the Mazda Miata / MX5 prove that you don’t need lots of power to make a fun car.
It’s so fun to see Doug ripping around while giving the most calm commentary
sick car, cool idea, and i really enjoy doug reviewing a quality modified car in his style + i really want to
see more!
I remember when these came out, looks so good in person but this one is spectacular! Great job to the owner
I’ve seen these in person when I lived overseas. The most striking aspect of the Scirocco is how low and wide it is. It’s basically a squished Golf. I think the dimensions are just a few inches different here and there but it makes a huge difference in terms of looks.
I’m from Singapore and I currently own a 2011 Scirocco 1.4 TSI for 3 months so far. Although the practicality lacks in certain areas, it really is a fun car to drive not to mention how good it looks exterior-wise. It really brings me back to the last days of simple automaking in the late 2000s/early 2010s. One thing for certain that I’m not really a big fan of when it comes to the Scirocco is the massive A-pillars, you really gotta crank your neck to look out for curbs or anything of that sort whenever you’re making right turns in a junction.
It does however have an infamous reputation in Singapore because of the fact that many delinquents favour the Scirocco, there have been many cases and incidents where Sciroccos would get into stupid accidents and even put other drivers in danger, just a little fact.
did it cost you $100,000 usd to buy
ABC ah beng chia hahaha
@TVCH LORD Sciroccos are pretty budget friendly in europe thats why alot of youngsters drive them first cars usually tend to be Scirocco, Audi A3 8P 3 Door (i own one myself awesome car as well) mk6 golf 3 door usually or a mk5 golf, they all tend to be around the sam area depending on the specs and year they are around 5k to 10k
Actually my mistake even the very nice models tend to end at around 8.5k euro in my country so yup pretty inexpensive for first cars
Over in the UK they’re pretty common and you see these fairly often. They do look pretty cool on the road. It’s the sort of car where when you see one you say to yourself “Oo nice Scirocco!”. Strange to think that they’re rare in other parts of the world.
Lucky, we wanted it sooo bad in the US. Had an 80s scirocco and loved it.
I want this car, but I live in California. I know this will be stolen within a week over here
Nothing strange about that as it is rather common in the world of cars. New in the car world?
You know this car is cool when Jeremy Clarkson and James May are willing to make an ad for it.
I love the fact Doug knows VW facts and our VAG events such as H20i…I always wanted to convert my Eos to a Rocco’ but totaled it before I could make that happen. This is a great build and hope to have one of these in my garage when they turn 25yr old
Assumed a VAG event was a gynaecologist convention before this
I wish Doug would review more modified cars like this, he does VERY well at explaining and reviewing these cars
Does he though? We watched this 20+ minute video and I’m still not sure if it’s single or twin turbo
Hell no. The infinite number of quirks and features would blow his mind…
Imagine doug in a 700hp sleeper slammed civic 😂😂😂 i would f-ing die to see how much fun he would have tho ripping a street legal go-cart lol peace and love brotha stay safe
@Gage Lidstoneif u listen he sayes it has upgraded turbos plural so its twin fam
Gorgeous car. Truly a work of love. Excellent video as always Doug. Thank you for sharing this unique piece with us.
