Martini Racing themed VW Scirocco from Krause Tuning

I love twitter because once in a while a tweet catches my eye and I happen to click a link and find something very unexpected and awesome. Tonight was just another case of me paying attention at just the right time. What I was drawn to was a post on Vau-Max.de a German car blog and a post capturing the build of a very clean VW Scirocco from the tuners at Krause Tuning in Germany. I translated the post and found out that the entire build was done in just 3 days! I’ll save you the trouble of translating the article and post up some of the details here.

Here are some of the details:

Vehicle type: VW Scirocco 3

Engine: 1.4 liter TSI, chip tuning by MTE to about 190 hp

This car makes me really wish VW would bring the Scirocco stateside. Such a clean car with great performance potential! I’ve picked out a few of my favorite images and posted them below. Check out the rest by following the link below to Vau-Max.de!
