In 1974, VW introduced the three-door model Scirocco, which was produced in two generations until 1992. After that, the car was almost forgotten, and it returned to the market in 2008, but not to the American market. Now, Canadian company HPA Motorsports, specializing in VW and Audi cars, has introduced a special equipment kit that takes the performance of the 2008 Volkswagen R32 Scirocco to a new level.

Given the fact that Volkswagen didn’t sell the third generation in the US, the three-door Scirocco is a rare sight on American streets. However, this example is really special, as it is powered by a 3.2L FT536 twin-turbo V6 engine, from the Golf R32 Mk5, with 565 hp (416 kW) and 550 lb-ft (746 Nm) of torque. This means that the Scirocco is more powerful than the current Golf R. Power is sent to all wheels via a 6-speed DSG gearbox.

The car is equipped with 19-inch BBS wheels, KW adjustable suspension with hydraulic lifting system, Competition Haldex Controller, HPA Motorsport big and powerful brakes, as well as a Reiger body kit.

The total upgrade cost $100k dollars and the car is listed for auction. The auction ends on June 22, and the current highest bid is $55,000.
