| FINALLY! The Scirocco available in Canada!
[Too bad it'll be for $150,000  ] 
Ask us what Euro-only model we'd import to the States and the Volkswagen Scirocco would be near the top of the list. It combines everything we love about the GTI into a more attractive, racy package and, just like it's boxy brethren, it's packed with tuning potential.
HPA has been at the forefront of VW and Audi modifications for years, and the Canadian tuning firm has worked out a deal with V-Dub to import a handful of Sciroccos into British Colombia each year to finally offer North American gearheads the hot hatch we deserve. But naturally, they're not leaving good-enough alone.
Although the Scirocco tops out in R trim with a 265-horsepower 2.0-liter TSI four-cylinder, HPA will swap in a fully-built 3.2-liter V6 complete with a pair of Garrett H25 turbochargers, along with all-wheel drive. The result is the FT565, good for 550 hp and 500 pound-feet of torque. Bump it up to the Stage 2 package and torque swells to 600 lb-ft and the 0-60 time drops to 3.4 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of 11.3 seconds. Top speed? HPA claims 200 mph... in a hatchback.
In addition to the engine mods, the stock brakes have been swapped out in favor of 14-inch, eight-piston units in front and 13-inch rotors out back, with 19-inch aluminum BBS coated in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires.
As you'd expect, such a conversion and importation doesn't come cheap: HPA only plans to build 10 FT565 Sciroccos each year, at a cost of $150,000 a piece. And no, there's no word on whether the Scirocco will be available here in the U.S. Dammit.

That is why there is about 10 cars being imported. It should be enough to support the vw fanantic market and eventually it will get sold.
Been a corrado/scirocco fan for a decade. Don't mind having one of those in my garage.

150k = so not worth it.
why don't they do the smart thing and import 9 stock ones, and 1 of these piles of nonsense.

I don't think it would be going out on a limb to say that *anyone* who buys one of these, regardless if they are a hardcore VW fanatic, is retarded.

that would be cool Shantz, I'm a VW fan (MKV owner) but if I had 150k to spend on one car I wouldn't be looking at VW's

If Honda couldn't push their NSX near the end of the production run for that price, who's gonna buy a VW for that price?

Makes me want to move to Germany just for this reason.
I wonder if Chinese fast food would be a hit with the Turkish-German population?
