VW Press release
Volkswagen celebrates the one millionth Scirocco
Exclusive special edition marks the record of one million built Scirocco model
Wolfsburg, 03 May 2013 - With an exclusive special model, Volkswagen celebrates the fact that the Scirocco has broken through the magical sound barrier for a sports car of one million built vehicles in 2013.
The Scirocco Million, painted exclusively in �Deep Black Metallic � can be recognized at first glance by its sporty accent strip (in the middle of the body), the exterior rear mirror caps painted in �Galvanic Grey� and its �Interlagos� 18-inch alloy wheels with 235/40 tyres that are also standard (China: �Spa� 17-inch wheels). The alloy wheels are delivered in combination with a tyre pressure control display. 19-inch alloy wheels of the �Lugano� type that are painted silver are also optionally available.
The other standard exterior customisation features include R-Line bumpers, R-Line side sills, smoked tail lights, �Million� stickers on the wings and rear windows that are 90% smoked (China: 65 per cent).
In the interior, the special model features, among other things, a standard leather seating (type �Vienna� in black) with contrasting seams in �Snap Orange.� In sync with that: the black roof liner and the leather cover of the parking brake lever and gear lever gaiter (also with seams in �Snap Orange�). Floor mats with colour-contrasting chain-stitch seams, stainless steel pedals, entry plates with �Million� lettering and the accent strips made of brushed aluminium are likewise standard on board. The RCD 310 audio system provides the right sound and up-to-date information.
The Scirocco Million can be ordered with three different petrol engines (TSI) and two diesel engines (TDI). The TSI have output ratings of 90 kW / 122 PS, 118 kW / 160 PS and 155 kW / 210 PS; the TDIs develop 103 kW / 140 PS and 130 kW / 177 PS. With the exception of the 122 PS TSI, all engines can be combined with a dual clutch gearbox (DSG). The base price of the Scirocco Million will be 27,325 euros in Germany.
Like the Golf GTI, the Scirocco is a sporty icon. The first generation of the Coup� was launched in 1974. Seven years later, in 1981, the second generation of the Scirocco took off. It was built up to 1992. A total of 795,650 vehicles of the Scirocco I and II were built � a truly sporty world success. The comeback of the sports car came with the Scirocco III in 2008. The third generation is developing into a success model, too: Inside of just under five years, more than 204,350 fans the world over have opted for a new Scirocco � if we add generations I, II and III, we arrive at the one million vehicle mark we just mentioned. Volkswagen is celebrating this with a special edition: the Scirocco Million.
The special model is on offer exclusively in Germany and China. The production of the special series will be started as early as the end of May.
