Custom VW Scirocco R Exhaust Sound

Time for a bit of car spotting (not supercar spotting) for the regular people that have a limit on their credit. And we’re going to focus on a new video published by Marchettino at a track event in Italy.
It used to be the case that the Volkswagen Golf R32 was the hottest of the hatches. Nothing else was as fast, since the competition could only muster a straight-six BMW at best. But of course you already know the Golf R20 can’t hold a candle to its similarly price rival, though it comes with some nice features.

But Volkswagen might have unknowingly realized that front-wheel drive systems that don’t lose as much power are a solution. According to some reports the next Golf GTI has an XDS electronic limited slip diff that’s faster than a mechanical one. We guess that what we’re trying to say is that it’s natural some people find the front-wheel drive Scirocco R better and more fun than the Golf R, and this is evident from the track use. And admit it: you are looking at the same €28,000 second hand model right now, howing it will drop in two years.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
