B&B Raises the Horsepower Bar with VW Scirocco R


The sportiest Scirocco of them all, the 'R' variant, has received the tender tuning affections of 'B & B'. Starting with the Scirocco R's 265HP 2.0-liter turbocharged unit, the German firm offers three different stages of engine mods , with the first bumping power to 310HP.

The next two stages incrementally increase output to 324HP and 362HP, respectively, with the most powerful version using a larger turbocharger, custom exhaust system with a larger downpipe and high-performance catalyst as well as a modified ECU, air-intake and intercooler.

B & B's flagship Scirocco R model sprints from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.9 seconds and reaches a top speed in excess of 280km/h or 174 mph.

Other performance upgrades include a sport suspension that lowers the coupe's ride height by 30 mm or a little over an inch, a sport brake system and 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels.
