HPA Scirocco FT565

Dear Lord.

Although the Scirocco tops out in R trim with a 265-horsepower 2.0-liter TSI four-cylinder, HPA will swap in a fully-built 3.2-liter V6 complete with a pair of Garrett H25 turbochargers, along with all-wheel drive. The result is the FT565, good for 550 hp and 500 pound-feet of torque. Bump it up to the Stage 2 package and torque swells to 600 lb-ft and the 0-60 time drops to 3.4 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of 11.3 seconds. Top speed? HPA claims 200 mph... in a hatchback.

In addition to the engine mods, the stock brakes have been swapped out in favor of 14-inch, eight-piston units in front and 13-inch rotors out back, with 19-inch aluminum BBS coated in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires.

As you'd expect, such a conversion and importation doesn't come cheap: HPA only plans to build 10 FT565 Sciroccos each year, at a cost of $150,000 a piece. And no, there's no word on whether the Scirocco will be available here in the U.S. Dammit.

[rollininstyle2004]

Yes!

The car itself looks great and I'd expect it to perform great. Nothing bad to say about it at all.

BUT 150K for a VW that only does low 11? hmmm...I'd pass. That's the price point of the Corvette ZR1, Audi R8 V10, Nissan GT-R V-Spec (R35), etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking on the car at all. Just the price point.

I'm sure much of the price point is derived from the availability. At only 10 a year, they have to make profit on top of parts and R&D.

Sorta the same case as the Lexus LFA.

Of those three cars, only the Audi looks as good or better than this VW. I'd pay $150k for the VW before the Vette or the GT-R were even considered. Later, QD.

Ok think of what you just said. All the cars you just listed are cars built for the US market. The VW is being imported. It is like before the Skyline came to the states people were paying top dollar and import fees for them to be brought here because they are amazing cars. Same difference. Not trying to argue here but you can essentially walk into any dealership for Audi and get an R8, any Chevrolet dealership and get the ZR1, or any Nissan dealership and get the R35. You can only get the VW from HPA... And how many of them do you think you will see on the road? lol. I see plenty R35's rolling around here, there are 3 R8's within a 40 mile radius of me that I know of, and not sure bout the ZR1 to be honest because I simply dont keep up with Corvettes.

With that being said I think the car would be amazing. This car is supercar status. Supercars come with high price tags. AWD with 550hp. Who cars what it runs in the 1/4 mile. This thing will dust most cars in cornering hands down. Only wimps race in straight lines lol. Plus from a roll this thing probably screams. 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Faster than some super cars. Everyone just keeps looking that it is a VW.

I WANT ONE!!! :)
