VW Launches Scirocco Minisite

Volkswagen has lunched a new teaser mini-site for the upcoming Scirocco sports coupe. You have to register to enter the site, but once in there isn’t much in terms of visual stimulation. Rumors has that we will see the productinon version of the car in Geneva next week and then the Europe launch towards the end of 2008.

VW Group engine 2.0 TFSI looks like will be offered with the Scirocco.

VW Scirocco Brochure Is Fake

Belgian Autoscoops.eu disproved the leaked VW Scirocco brochure. They have dug into their archives and used their collective minds on the forum.

As it turns out now, the lay-out has been taken from the Volkswagen Eos brochure. Some photoshopping added to the idea that this might be the new and much anticipated VW Scirocco. But a closer look unveils the truth, the front page headlight is taken directly from a VW Iroc Concept press photo. The interior is from said Eos brochure with a again different headlight photoshopped into the left box, the second left box shows the new VW Passat CC wheel, and the electric window controls show four buttons for a two-door coupe!

Congratulations to Autoscoops.eu for their keen eyes and vigilence. Well, we have to wait until the Geneva show starts to see the Scirocco.

New VW Scirocco Brochure Surfaces

Creating a new car means that all the materials need to be created, too. And some material of Volkswagen's new Scirocco coupe leaked.

They're likely shooting pictures of some preproduction model and ordinary things like owner's manuals need to get done so they can be tucked into gloveboxes. Tnahks to some quick thinking with a digital camera we can see some closeups of a Scirocco's instruction booklet, which coincidentally carries closeups of an uncamoflaged Scirocco.

The shots are small, out of focus, and not informative. But they give us at least a look before the car debuts. You can see the final shape of the headlamp and some muddy images of the interior (which carries similar design cues to other VW models) and details like the rims, HVAC controls, and switchgear.
