<br />Volkswagen's new Scirocco is rapidly becoming a popular canvas for customizing, and Wolfsburg itself is getting into the act. The Bologna Motor Show has been graced with the Scirocco Study R, which could be a preview of a production version called the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/25/volkswagen-dropping-scirocco-r32-in-favor-of-scirocco-r20t/">Scirocco R20T</a>. The Study R is a derivation of the ideas laid down by <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/22/volkswagen-scirocco-gt24-debuts-at-worthersee/">the GT24 race concept</a>, with a sneery front end and a wing out back. The Study R is more understated in white with subdued striping, red mirrors and a nostriled hood. Power is provided by a 2.0 liter TFSI engine that twirls the cogs in a six-speed DSG gearbox. Suspension and braking systems have also been tweaked to deliver on the image's sporty promise, and a less restrictive exhaust offers some bark to underscore the bite. With the death of the R32, Volkswagen might bring the R20T to the North American market, and if it's anything like the Study R, we'll be saying R-thirty-who? <br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r-2">Volkswagen Scirocco Study R</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r-2/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/00studyr_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r-2/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/01studyr_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r-2/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/02studyr_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r-2/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/03studyr_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r-2/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/04studyr_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r">Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 Race Concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/2008_volkswagen_scirocco_r_concept_003-1202_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/db2008au00439_medium-0917-950x673_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/db2008au00440_medium-0917-950x673_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/db2008au00441_medium-0917-950x673_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/volkswagen-scirocco-study-r/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/db2008au00442_medium-0917-950x673_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/vw-unveils-scirocco-study-r-at-bologna-motor-show.html">Motor Authority</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/03/vw-shows-off-scirocco-study-r-in-bologna/">VW shows off Scirocco Study R in Bologna</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:57:00 EST.
