Volkswagen at the 2010 MPH Show

Volkswagen is proud to announce that it will be supporting the 2010 MPH Show with a number of road-going and unique high performance Scirocco and Golf models.

The Scirocco R will be on display at the MPH Show which takes place at Earls Court, London (4-7 November) and the NEC, Birmingham (11-14 November).  In addition to the most powerful and fastest accelerating production Scirocco ever, Volkswagen will be showcasing the Nürburgring 24-hour class winning Scirocco GT24-CNG, alongside the iconic Golf GTI and the GTI Project Scalextric track.

Making its UK premiere, the Scirocco GT24-CNG coupé claimed an overall 16th place finish, and a one-two-three podium lockout in the class for cars with alternative power in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring earlier this year.  It is powered by a 2.0-litre TSI engine powered by natural gas, reducing CO2 emissions by 80 per cent over a conventional petrol engine and produces 330 PS.

Joining the Scirocco GT24-CNG is the latest evolution of the original hot hatch, the Golf GTI and a 1:43 scale model of the Golf GTI which forms part of the GTI Project.  The 30 ft by 25 ft track is the work of a team of 60 modellers and features over 200 scale buildings.  The Scalextric layout is the physical track that the online game, available at gtiproject.com has been based on, and gives racers the chance to compete against the clock, and each other, in the latest version of the legendary hatchback. 

The Scirocco GT24-CNG, Golf GTI and GTI Project can be found on the Volkswagen stand P157 at Earls Court and P30 at the NEC.
