Scirocco S (USA model)
Scirocco S (USA model)
In 1980, the Scirocco S was introduced into the American VW range. Mechanically identical to the 1588cc fuel injected standard American spec Scirocco, the S was basically a ‘cosmetic’ special edition. A 5-speed gearbox was optional. › Continue reading
Scirocco Junior Cup 1976
Following on from the Formula V racing series, Volkswagen introduced the one-make Junior Cup series for the 1976 season. In it’s inaugural year of running, 50 specially commissioned Sciroccos were raced using the new for ’76 fuel injected engine.
IROC Concept
VW launched the Iroc concept car on August 24th 2006. Utilizing the Eos chassis and modern VW engines, it was a working prototype of the New Scirocco.
Mk2 Scirocco design studies
In 1977, two design studies were built as possible replacements for the Mk1 Scirocco. Both were again to be based on the Mk1 Golf.
The first of the mock ups was constructed almost entirely from wood. The side window styling differed on the right and left side of the car to give two styling options in one project. This saves from having to build a second expensive mock up.
The left side window styling is reminiscent of an Audi coupe. Note the lack of a quarter light on the door.
The right side windows are more in keeping with the Mk1 Scirocco. The rear side window is extended giving a Brasilian Gol Mk1 appearance.
Detailed view of the differing C-pillar styling.
The second design was by none other than Giugiaro himself. The design was too similar to the original Scirocco, so could not be used. Both vehicles now reside in the Karmann museum in Osnabrück.

Mk2 Scirocco spoilers
Scirocco tailgate spoilers
Three different tailgate spoilers have been used on the MK2 Scirocco. Here are some photos to help distinguish them from each other.
Mk2 Scirocco Cheetah
The Scirocco Cheetah was a special one-off hand assembled show car that was built in 1983 for the 1984 Geneva Motorshow. After being displayed, it became the personal car of Mrs. Karmann.
The body was painted in a white Pearl effect as were the Kamei X1 bodykit, mirrors and bumpers. Because it was a show vehicle, it naturally came highly specified with steel sunroof, electric windows and exterior mirrors. A four speaker system audio system came with an electric aerial and fader switch in the centre console. Other features were A/C, power steering, auto transmission and tinted glass.
The full leather interior was of a deep red colour. The steering wheel was also black leather trimmed. Even the sun visors had a leather/velour covering.
The Scirocco Cheetah is unique in that it has the later twin wiper body style with steel sliding sunroof yet retained the old boot floor with the full size spare carrier and small › Continue reading

The 14″ Avus alloy wheels (sometimes called “Snow Flakes” in North America) and the body kit are colour coded to the body in either Paprika red(LK3A) or Helios blue(LA5Y). › Continue reading
