The 218bhp Scirocco GTS had its world premiere recently in Shanghai.
It’s engine is one of the most popular in the Scirocco range because it is sharing its design genes with the engine of the Golf GTI.
A turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine that is recognised as being one of the most agile four-cylinder engines in the world, it catapults the Scirocco GTS – either with a manual gearbox or with the six-speed DSG – to 60mph in just 6.5 seconds and with a top speed of 153mph.
The average fuel consumption shows just how efficient the engine of the Scirocco is: just 46mpg with a manual gearbox and similarly economical at 44mpg with a DSG gearbox.
