Scirocco R Cup – the environmentally friendly one-make series from Volkswagen In the world of motor racing, the Scirocco III provided exhilarating action on the track and riveting entertainment for spectators.

The cup was also environmentally friendly, with the 173 kW/235 PS race cars propelled by engines fueled with biomethane.
