Here’s a new picture of VW’s Scirocco Race Version lapping the Nordschleife as the German carmaker completes its third test in preparation for the 24-hour Nurburgring race on 24/25 May. The race-prepped Scirocco is fitted with a 300+ Hp version of VW’s 2.0-liter TFSI engine.

“The new Scirocco was in its element from its very first lap around the Nordschleife. The car also ran perfectly on this unique and difficult track,” said Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen. “Our technicians have produced excellent work up to now. Now it’s a just a question of preparing the three Scirocco perfectly for the race. After all, the 24-hours is a merciless test for man and machine.”
