MR Car Design has unveiled a heavily modified Volkswagen Scirocco, dubbed the Black Rocco.

Boasting an aggressive appearance, the car features a Rieger body kit (which consists of a front apron, side skirts, and rear valance with faux diffuser), a matte black paint scheme, and 20-inch 'Emotion' wheels with Hankook S1 EVO high performance tires.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter TSI engine that has been outfitted with a revised ECU, a downpipe, and a MR Car Design stage 3 turbo kit. Connected to a four tailpipe exhaust system, the engine produces 370 hp and 519 Nm of torque. Other performance tweaks include a limited slip differential, a Stoptech braking system (with 4-pistons calipers grabbing onto slotted discs that measure 355x32 mm), and V3-coilovers from KW Automotive.

Im partial to RWD but i have to say this lil bugger looks impressive. Wonder how well the suspension and tires put all that power to the ground...

nearly 400hp and front wheel drive, they must be mental, only if it could handle all the power that I won't be complaining.

A very nice looking car though, look menacing and powerful, a very good looking hatchback

but still, nearly 400 hp, can any front drive cars with a LSD handle it?

Well it does look nice, but who thought putting 370bhp in the bloody front wheels would be a good idea?

So this is what the VW/Audi/.. group tuners been doing. One is trying to reduce the weight while the other is pumping up the engine throughput power. Well it's all about power to weight ratios to deliver meaner machines.

DARTH VADER. Sponsored by VeeDub. Hope VW can adapt Ford's innovative RevoKnuckle system on the hot Focus RS to this Black Beast's FWD system to keep those 370 horses in check. This shows VeeDub IROC(S)!

Through the front wheeels you will be shredding those beautiful (and most likely highly expensive) 20" on the front with maximum efficiency. Frankly, driving on 20" is nuts, I'm on 18"s and will probably 'regress' afterwards as it's pretty brutal on the nerves. All that said and done, nice Reiger kit, nice car and good tuning. Hope all parts last more than 50k miles after tuning.
