When the new Scirocco first debuted, VW was quick to crush any hope that it would come to Canada. They said they wouldn’t make any money on it because it would be a low volume seller and all the money that it takes to make it Canada-ready just wouldn’t be worth it.
The VW Scirocco is essentially a better looking, racier version of the already awesome GTI and it has been receiving nothing but good reviews in Europe. Too bad you can’t experience it yourself.
Or can you?
There is now a loophole. A very expensive loophole.
Canadian tuning company HPA has inked a deal with Volkswagen to import Sciroccos to Canada so they can make them even better. How better? Well, 550 horsepower and 600 pound feet of torque better. And then make it AWD. Which then translates into a 0-100 time of just 3.4 seconds.
Assuming you haven’t fainted by reading those numbers, here’s a number that will make you faint.
Each HPA Scirocco will cost you $150,000. And if you have that kind of dough lying around that you’d love to spend on a Scirocco, then you’d better stop reading around this point and get on the phone because HPA is only planning on producing ten of them per year.
Oh, and the other catch is that they’ll only be sold in British Columbia.
But hey, this is going to be exclusive to Canada, so it’s just another reason to brag about something that the U.S won’t get -like a gold medal in hockey this year.
hahah ok so this is how brainless I am, halfway through looking through your post I accidentally dropped my mouse and shut the internet explorer in error and I couldn’t locate your article once again until 6 days later on to finish reading through from the point i stopped at for the reason that I didn’t remember how I linked to your web site in the first place ahaha in any case it was worth the wait..kudos 🙂
This is really my dreamcar. There is no Ferrari that can beat this one!
