The new Volkswagen Scirocco is about to go topless, Auto Express can exclusively reveal. The German manufacturer is plotting a coupé-cabriolet version of its two-door sports car to challenge the likes of the Porsche Boxster and Audi TT Roadster.
We have already caught the hotly anticipated fixed roof variant of the newcomer being put through its paces in the US. And when that car goes on sale in the middle of next year, it promises to stick closely to the styling of the stunning IROC concept, which made its debut at the Paris Motor Show in autumn 2006. However, it’s the chassis of the new Scirocco that will be most interesting to cabriolet fans. As the sleek two-door shares its underpinnings with the attractive Eos coupé-cabrio, VW will go on to adapt a CC version, which is likely to arrive in showrooms in 2009.
The open-air variant has yet to be officially confirmed by bosses at the company, but as our exclusive pictures reveal, it will look every bit as good as its conventional brother.
