Boosting the new Volkswagen Scirocco coupé to new performance realms is one of the tasks that the MTM (Motoren-Technik-Mayer) tuning specialists decided to tackle in their own way.

With up to 272 hp and 380 Nm torque, the compact coupé gets approved 8-piston MTM Brembo brakes from size 330x32mm (front axle), MTM clubsport running gear, a 4-pipe exhaust system with rear skirt attachment as well as the sportive "bimoto" Scirocco rims.

That's the MTM Scirocco R, with its specially developed tuning components. It consists first of an optimal interaction of the MTM motor electronics, including MTM middle- and end muffler, the MTM front muffler as well as the pre-tube with a metal catalytic converter. The individually produced MTM exhaust system for the Scirocco is available from 2,255 €.

As an introductory offer, the control unit, lowering kit + exhaust half system with 4-pipe muffler and rear skirt attachment can be ordered for 2,990 € plus 828 € fitting costs, instead of a regular 3,479 € plus 828 fitting costs.

A performance enhancement up to 272 hp at 6,080 rpm can be achieved for the Scirocco. There are three different performance enhancements available: up to 245, 250 or 272 hp.

The high-performance MTM Clubsport running gear which has been fitted in MTM Scirocco enhances road grip, driving dynamics and curve behaviour. The MTM Clubsport running gear (from 1,489 €) consists of lowering springs and sport shock absorbers which allow lowering the car´s front axle by 20-40 mm and the rear axle by 10-35 mm. As a cheaper alternative, MTM offers the specially adjusted chassis springs. The MTM F-Cantronic will be available for adjusting the adaptive chassis regulation DCC.

Active safety is boosted by the 8-piston MTM Brembo brakes with brake discs and steel flex pipes measuring 330x32 mm, 365x34 mm and 380x34 mm. The perforated brake discs which were especially produced for MTM enhance the Scirocco´s appearance with their individually punched design (from 3,462 €).

The aesthetic side is completed by the rim set bimoto. The rims were designed by MTM-technicians in 19 and 20 inches and are available in "shiny silver", "titanium" and "diamond cut". The "bimoto" rims can be bought at MTM, from 1,876 €.

In addition, MTM offers a complete wheel with sportive tyres by their tyre partners Michelin or Continental (235/35 19) from 3,166.50 €. Optionally, MTM also offers a gauge extension of 20 mm per axle incl. wheel bolts for 104.70 €.
