Nike Requin 745.



Not so long ago, the trade-off with a front-wheel-drive hot-hatch was actually using the extra power at your disposal. Planting the right foot left you sawing at the wheel in order to stop the thing bucking from side to side.

Volkswagen seems to have found a clever way to iron this out in the Scirocco R with the use of an XDS electronically-controlled front differential, which is an expansion Tn Requin of the electronic limited-slip differential (EDL) and electronic stabilisationprogramme (ESP). That seems like an awful lot of acronyms, but the end result is much simpler � a car that�s quick but civilised.

Like anything in VW�s R range, the Scirocco R represents a fairly significant departure from its more conventional counterpart. The first differences are obvious before you even unlock the door, with the aggressive bodykit, larger spoiler and LED running lights all hinting at what�s to come.

The differences are even more stark once you�re in the drivers� seat. An entry-level Scirocco is equipped with a 1.4 litre engine, New Balance so the 2.0 TDi that forms part of the Scirocco R�s armoury is a very noticeable step up. There are plenty of opportunities to have the car tailored to your tastes too � the standard six-speed manual transmission can be upgraded to a six-speed twin-clutch direct-shift gearbox, and the 18� wheels can be ramped up to 19�. The car can be operated in Comfort, Normal and Sport mode, making it just as suitable for track days as it is for cruising down the motorway. A specialist Nike Tn VW dealer London such as VW DEALER LONDON can put you behind the wheel of a Scirocco R at prices starting from �29,745.
