There’s nothing especially ground-breaking going on – dropped ride height, bigger wheels, bit of a bodykit – but it doesn’t look too bad, does it?

ABT’s Scirocco gets a tuned-up version of VW’s two-litre ‘TSI’ engine, putting out 240bhp – which might not be a million miles off the powertrain of the rumoured hot Scirocco: recent reports suggest that it could be powered by the 265bhp turbo engine from the Audi S3 rather than the 3.2-litre V6 from the Golf R32.

Fine by us. Oh, and just one more thing, VW: when the hot Scirocco turns up, make sure it’s green. Green Sciroccos are good.
