… and reap the whirlwind. Or in this case, a uniquely sporting, on-road experience. Named after a hot Saharan-Mediterranean wind, the Scirocco kicked up a real storm – of praise and market appreciation – when it first debuted back in 1974. Now, it’s celebrating its comeback – and like a breath of fresh air: with increased power ratings up to 240 hp, elegantly aerodynamic add-on body components, dynamic chassis and suspension technology and much much more, the experts at ABT have breathed yet more life into the latest generation of this spectacular sports coupe. But the ABT Scirocco is also fully on message with the wind of change: the 1.4 TSI engine, for instance, churns out a massive 210 hp – more power than the larger 2.0 TSI power unit in its series-production form – while offering a significant reduction in fuel consumption at the same time.
