Volkswagen celebrated the production of its hundred-thousandth third-generation Scirocco this month, just two years since the compact sports coupŽ model's market launch.
With its attractive design and sporty appearance, the Scirocco is popular amongst automotive enthusiasts and critics alike, winning the AutoBILD Design Award as well as being named Car of the Year by Top Gear magazine in 2008.
"The Scirocco is one of the most important cars that we produce. For myself personally, it was a moving moment," said Autoeuropa plant manager, Andreas Hinrichs, as the Scirocco R 2.0 TSI rolled off the production line.
Looking just as good in motor sports as it does on the open road, the racing version of the new Scirocco occupied top ranks at the 24-hour race at the NŸrburgring in 2008.
The Scirocco GT24-CNG (natural gas) won in the alternative-drive class in its first time at the competition in 2009, and Qatari Volkswagen Motorsport driver, Nasser Al Attiyah, raced to first place in a one-two-three class victory for alternative power cars in May this year.
