Aspec Reveal 430 HP Tuned Scirocco R

I know. It’s cruel. But until we get the Scirocco in North America, if ever that day comes, we can at least steal furtive glances from across the internet.

Chinese tuners, Aspec, are the latest to get their hands on the Scirocco, and like a Hot Topic enthusiast with something to prove they’ve gone all out with the body mods.

The images released feature a rendered Scirocco R that looks meaner than a smoker who just quit. It has Group B levels of flare on the wheel arches and its hood has more slices cut out of it than the Christmas ham.

Weirdly, the back wheels look like they have some positive camber. It’s such an unconventional decision these days that it’s actually kind of interesting. That said, it might just be an illusion.

There’s bite to go with its bark, too. Aspec say that they have an upgrade kit that will get the Scirocco R up to a healthy 430 hp, though there are no more details than that.

Although the pictures aren’t of a real car, Aspec aren’t just Photoshop dreamers, they have a history of making angry VWs, like their PPV400 Golf.

No prices have been revealed either, but that was never really important. This is basically just VW-porn. You can find more pictures after the link.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
