10.400Rpm VW Scirocco Mk1 || INCREDIBLE Sound - Onboard

Coming from what seems now to be a distant 2012 year, this is Hans Paultisch´s VW Scirocco Mk1 screamer, one of our favourite Berg-Cup machines of all time. Powered by a 1.6L Naturally Aspirated engine producing a sonorous 254Hp/10.400Rpm, it benefitted from a total weight around 800Kg to be one of the fastest 1.6L class Monster of the old Group H.
Here it can be seen attacking St. Agatha Bergrennen, one of the fastest Hillclimbs of the year of the Berg-Cup calendar, where you can observe with the Onboard footage just how quick and how high revving this little Monster is.

Quite unique too, since then we never saw another Scirocco with it...

I genuinely don’t understand why most people prefer turbocharged cars that weight almost 2 tonnes rather than those high revving nimble beasts.

[@D16Y8PWR]

There are very light cars that are turbocharged, but i like N/A engines better than turbo, like this one 👌

[@carlob517]

drive one THEN You'll know why 😁

[@gasfiltered]

Current WRC cars have about the same displacement as this car yet make over twice the power and at much lower RPM. For a race car, this means your durability and therefore your chances of finishing the race go way up. A rally car must drive 1000km in 4 days, much of it at race pace, without needing a rebuild. I'll guarantee this NA engine spinning at those ridiculous revs gets rebuilt after driving a tenth of the distance. For a given power output, forced induction will always be more efficient. They also require less violent valve events, which means less chance of valve float. For a given output, a forced induction engine will have a lower BSFC/higher VE. They will turn slower, meaning a shorter rod can be used without exceeding maximum piston velocity, which in turn means pistons can be more favorably designed to minimize skirt slap and the associated losses both in power and longevity. The list could go on for hours. Forced induction is objectively better in every way except "sounds cool".

[@reallife4598]

To ways to go fast more hp or rev pick

[@Charlie-Charlot]

gasfiltered I cant agree more, i think my comment might get a bit misunderstood. I was wondering why automakers and buyers in general would prefer the bulky and heavy hot hatches of today when they used to be a lot lighter and more enjoyable imo.

[@RedLP5000S]

Absolutely gorgeous. And that sound is fantastic. 💯

My old Scirocco had half the power and twice the weight. I still love that car to this very day.

Why would anyone dislike a video like this? What does it present that would be considered even remotely negative? Even if you don't like cars? Some humans are just broken.

Die Kurvengeschwindigkeit hat mich wirklich überrascht, sehr stark 💪

[@andrewwilson8317]

I saw on a few weeks ago and to be honest I had forgotten just how nice they were. It looked small but perfectly formed. The design looks " tight" with no un essential bloating or styling just for styles sake. The idea of running one with modern 2.0 tfsi engine,six speed and matching suspension is extremely appealing!

[@klubstompers]

Id take a built NA engine over a built tfsi any day, and i have both.

What a touring car 😨 Can somebody tell how it's possible 10k rpm? Or what engine is it? Amazing vídeo!

[@shit_name4097]

I believethat it can rev higher than normal is because of the size of the engine . It’s easier to move something smaller than something bigger . Also upgraded internals so it withstands the explosions and probably upgraded valves

[@edalvarado6274]

I think it is hayabusa head on a 1.6 vw block

Dont tell me anything that would put you at a disadvantage in the future. But, who built the trans? What are the final and accompanying ratios? As well as tire size? Who are you using for ecu? (Definitely left CIS in the trash) also wondering how much your cage cost and where/who to patronize for one.

A Quaife or Ricardo sequential gearbox. The trans costs more that any I car I've owned.
