Thirty years ago, Volkswagen launched the second generation of its Scirocco coupe – albeit based on the same platform as the original model.
To celebrate the occasion, the Wolfsburg automaker is reviving the Mk2’s GTS moniker on a new edition of the current Scirocco, which will receive its public debut at this week’s 2012 AMI in Leipzig, Germany.
The new Scirocco GTS is powered by a 2.0-liter TSI petrol with 207hp (210PS) and comes equipped with bespoke styling cues that hark back to the more colorful 1970s and 1980s.
On the outside, the package adds sportier front and rear bumpers, flared side skirts, black and red racing stripes running from the hood, over the roof and to the tailgate, red brake calipers and matching colored mirror caps, 18-inch wheels and black exhaust tips.
The same color theme continues inside with the black leather upholstery featuring red stitching, while the classic golf ball shift knob also makes a comeback on the manual gearbox model.
