Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 5, 2009 Shame I can't see the clip, but that's quite interesting. Scirocco R DSG - 1353Kg, 265hp, 258lbft from 2500-5000rpm, 195hp per tonne Focus RS - 1468Kg, 301hp, 325lbft from 2250-4500rpm, 205hp per tonne On paper, the RS should have the Scirocco, especially with that huge torque advantage from lower revs and a higher power to weight ratio. Just proves paper and the real world are very different things! I would fully expect the Rocco to out handle the RS though, thanks to the lower C of G and adaptive damping. Seems VW have done it again. Produced another 'coupe' that is better than the sum of it's parts :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 5, 2009 I expected more from the RS to be honest. It's not lived up to the hype and a lot of people are dissapointed it's not 4WD as orginally billed. Plus it torque steers like crazy, despite Ford claiming otherwise :D Still, not to be too negative, it does deploy 325lb torque through the front wheels quite effectively. Can you imagine a FWD car from the 80s handling that much grunt? Not a chance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60_Marc 0 Posted November 5, 2009 That video was shot about 8 miles from my house. Often see Clarkson and the top gear crew up our way too hooning around in nice motors. That stretch over the mountain to Brynmawr is awesome and also deadly. Had a few deaths up there in recent years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted November 5, 2009 Seems VW have done it again. Produced another 'coupe' that is better than the sum of it's parts :notworthy: It looks like it. I hope to get one to replace my Mk4 Golf within the next 2 or 3 years. I can't see the Scirroco having the same exclusivity as the Corrado. I have a feeling VW will shift a lot of these.
