The new Scirocco is already one of Volkswagen’s best looking vehicles, but it was only a matter of time before tuning firms got to work trying to improve it. With a historical link to Scirocoo’s of the past, it was natural for OETTINGER to come up with a significant reworking of the new model.
Outside the car features an aggressive new body kit with aero flaps for the front splitter and sill extensions. Other changes include a rear diffuser, polished stainless steel exhaust and OETTINGER sport wheels in sizes up to 20”. Ratcheting up the sporting appeal on the interior is carbon fiber trim, stainless steel kick plates and aluminum pedals.
More meaningful changes are under the hood as the company has modified the engine management software to turn out 240 PS from the 2.0L turbo and 200 PS from the 1.4L TSI. In the coming months a tuning package for the 2.0L TSI engine will create 350 PS and 470 Nm. Other performance enhancements include a specially tuned adjustable suspension and larger brakes.

The sport coupé the superlatives – The OETTINGER Scirocco
The striking lines immediately impress.
Already the successful basis version of the latest edition of the Scirocco challanges the senses – as well as the designers and engineers from OETTINGER. They already provided its predecessors with the legendary OETTINGER 16-Valve engines. The most fascinating tuning Scirocco of the time – the „Birocco“ from VW’s research department was even powered by two OETTINGER power units.
With a lot of passion and enthusiasm the OETTINMGER team have once again managed to set the standard. Pure suspense – from front to rear is how the OETTINGER Scirocco presents itself. The sporty and dynamic traits are expertly and successfully complemented by the OETTINGER body kit – this consists of Aero Flaps for the front splitter, sill extensions and a rear diffuser. As usual, all components are manufactured from high quality RIM to OEM standard and are available from December 2008.
The powerful engine conversions are also impressive. The heart of a sport coupe is and remains the engine! – This also applies to the OETTINGER Scirocco; 240 PS for the 2.0 turbo engine and 200 PS for the 1.4l TSI power plant due to modified engine management are only the beginning. Unconstrained propulsion and secure on the limit performance will be provided for before the year is out with up to 350 PS and 470 Nm (2.0 TSI), a specially tuned adjustable suspension and larger brakes. The highly polished stainless steel exhaust system from the OETTINGER turbocharger back, with its distinctive sound will also naturally be included as will a larger intercooler.
For further noticeable fun and noble appearance – Up to 20” OETTINGER type RXX sport wheels, Carbon interior, stainless steel kick plates, finest floor mats and aluminium pedals.

I'm sold on this version.
Bumbling fools...
Then again, it looks like an R8.
This is more IROC. However, go easy on those bumps upfront or has Oettinger got a hydraulic solution?
