VW Scirocco “Remis” by HS Motorsport

The Volkswagen Scirocco coupe is one of the eye-catching with tuners, which has already been tuned by ABT Sportsline, MTM and Oettinger. Apparently, German performance shop HS Motorsport also doesn’t want to left behind. The company is releasing the tuned Volkswagen Scirocco couple they call Remis.

The most powerful Scirocco model, the 2.0L turbo unit, only produces 200hp (147kW), so HS Motorsport has boosted power up to 320hp (235kW) in its top-of-the-line Remis package. The end result sees the modified coupe accelerate from 0-100km/km in 6.6 seconds – about 0.6 seconds faster than the production version. Top speed is a claimed 242km/h.

The large power gains are achieved through a number of methods, including sports exhaust systems, ECU tweaking and uprated turbocharger system. Additionally, HS Motorsport also offers 20in wheels, lowered springs, and a stainless steel muffler. Braking power comes from Brembo via special narrow one-piece discs and calipers.

To set the tuned version apart from the standard Scirocco, HS Motorsport has also developed a complete bodykit, which includes a front spoiler, side skirts, and a rear spoiler extension – all made from carbon-fiber. Inside, the firm has added Recaro Sportster CS seats with black Remis-special leather upholstery and white Remis embroidery. The car runs on 245/30 ZR20 matt black rims with 9x20 with Vredestein tyres.

Spy shots: Volkswagen Scirocco R20

The Volkswagen Scirocco R20 is going to make its debut alongside an R20T version of the Golf at this month’s Nurburgring 24 hour endurance race.


Key features of the car lifted from the Scirocco Study R concept include the aggressively styled bumper with larger intakes and unique fog lights, as well as the slightly wider fenders and lower ride height.

Don’t be fooled by the sponsor logos plastered over the car’s body. The prototype has been disguised as a race car but a peek inside reveals the car has its rear seats fully intact and there’s no roll cage, which means this is a production model.

Both the Scirocco and Golf R20 models are expected to deliver 270hp (201kW) and be fitted with a six-speed manual and AWD. A dual-clutch DSG is also expected to be featured as an option, allowing for 0-62mph (100km/h) sprint times in the five second bracket. Unlike its fellow Euro-competition - the Renault Megane RS and Ford Focus RS - the R20 will capitalize on AWD for superior performance and handling.

First sales should start in Europe by the end of the year, while American fans can still look forward to the Golf R20 as this car will be replacing the MkV R32 model and should be on sale in local showrooms also by the end of the year.
