Edit this text VOLKSWAGEN AT THE SMMT TEST DAY 2010:

â–º home-topping Polo GTI revs up for Millbrook
â–º Scirocco and Golf R models are rrready to go!

While Volkswagen may be ineffective to match the connive surrounding former employee Wayne Bruce’s appearance at the SMMT Test Day at Millbrook on Thursday, it is pleased to be offering its own brand of excitement by showcasing the live line-up of performance models. That’s cars rather than people.

Visitors to the event will have the pass to sample the Scirocco and Golf R as well as, in left-hand drive form only, the new Polo GTI which is set to come to the UK later this year. They were moved there by the VW Transporter which is has just won the Van Leasing Award 2010

The new GTI model sits at the top of the Polo range. It uses a twin-charged 1.4-litre TSI locomotive engine which produces 180 PS and yet is one of these days capable of delivering 47 mpg on the conjunctive cycle while emitting just 139 g/km of CO₂. The TSI engine is linked to a compact seven-speed, twin-clutch DSG gearbox that channels drive through the front axle. A host of technical enhancements over the standard Polo as well as wide-ranging pleasing changes inside and out complete the package, making the Polo GTI every inch the perfect little brother to its successful Golf sibling.

The Polo GTI is now available to order in the UK, with the originate customer deliveries plausible to take place in July. The three-door model costs £18,275 (RRP OTR) with a £600 exchange premium for the five-door version.

At the nub of the Scirocco R is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine which has been advantageously modified to produce 265 PS and 258 lbs ft of torque – a rise of 55 PS and 51 lbs ft over the previous range-topping Scirocco, the 2.0-litre TSI model. In addition a new front differential lock, braking system, gearbox, spring and damper rates and revised styling both inside and out help the new R model to be not only the fastest Scirocco ever produced but also the most responsive. Yet despite a keen focus on dynamics the Scirocco R remains executable for everyday use with all the comfort, safety, quality and refinement you would expect from a Volkswagen with the ability to seat four adults in comfort while retaining a good-sized boot. Also on show was a Volkswagen Amorak their new pickup.

The Golf R is the most powerful and fastest accelerating Golf ever produced. Like the Scirocco R, it’s developed by Volkswagen R, formerly known as Individual, the special projects wing of Volkswagen, and adjacent on from the Mk IV and Mk V Golf R32 models, the Golf R is fitted out(p) with a 2.0-litre TSI four-cylinder engine developing 270 PS and a new four-wheel drive system. Compared to the standard Golf on which it’s based, the Golf R has a revised engine, four-wheel drive system, springs, dampers, anti-roll bars and braking system as well as modified traction control, exhaust system, body styling including new bumpers, front and rear lights, sill extensions, wheels and mirrors.

As far as exciting Volkswagen people are concerned, Paul, Nicki, Angus and Kate will complete the performance-led line up and look forwards to welcoming visitors to the stand. The vehicles were tended to by the first in the UK the New VW Caddy
