Have you ever been driving your 188kW Volkswagen Scirocco R and decided that it just wasn’t quick enough? Well, that’s exactly what happened to our friendly Scirocco owner.

He turned to Revo for a digital tune up of the car, installing Stage 1 software and then fitted a decat downpipe, resulting in a 34kW power upgrade to a dyno-tested 222kW.

When the owner heard that a VW Golf 7 R was attending our drag shootout, he insisted that he come along and see if his upgraded Scirocco R could take on the less powerful, but newer, Golf.

The result is this drag race at the Killarney Race Circuit in Cape Town, filmed in perfect weather conditions. Both drivers acknowledged that the track surface was quite slippery, a condition which would obviously favour the all wheel drive Golf.

All the relevant stats and details of the Scirocco’s modifications are in the video.
