Here's some coverage from my first event of the year -the season opener in Holland. Streetpower by Automaxx is an event with a mix of activities at Zandvoort. It ranges from Gymkhana to Time Attack and off course show and shine on the paddock. I spent most of the day shooting the Time Attack cars and I was surprised to see how serious some of these machines have become over the years. Holland has made some enormous steps forward regarding car tuning. I didn't expect to see a R35 GT-R especially...

Let's continue my coverage of the Essen Motor Show with my second installment. Looking for Japanese cars on a German car show proved to be difficult. I found two S14s and this was one of them. It features what looks like a URAS bodykit and can be seen in action during the King Of Europe drifting championship. The wheels are made by Alutec, a major sponsor in drifting events throughout Germany, and go by the name Toxic. Another car I was looking for was the new Volkswagen Scirocco. But again I...

Today I had a job interview in Amsterdam and there I spotted this Scirocco with a full Rieger bodykit, it also had small sticker on the trunk saying MTM. They have a full engine package available for this car, so I hope it wasn't just stickerstuning. Seeing a Scirocco is one thing but seeing one like this in the capital of Holland really made my day. Can't wait for the Essen Motor Show at the end of this month. Last year I already saw several Scirocco's but I'm guessing there will...

Hot on the heels of our Scirocco GT24 post last week, Volkswagen have announced the new 2.0i TSI 265hp 'R' version of the Scirocco for the European market. As with all Volkswagen 'R' products it is presented in their 'Racing' Blue seen on the Golf R32 and GT24 race car. Visually, the car is similar to the GT24 with deeper front bumper and larger air intakes, compared to the standard version. A new gloss black grille with 'R' Insignia sits between the aggressive headlamps...

You can find some real gems browsing through the VWvortex forum. I just found this 1 st series Scirocco with a striking orange paintjob and perfect stance. You don't see many of them around these days, certainly not like this. -Jeroen Willemsen

In my opinion, VW's new Scirocco quite a looker straight off the showroom floor, but there is always room for improvement right? How about this Scirocco from by the German tuning company Oettinger? The car improves on the Scirocco's already wide stance with subtle aero work and a set of ultra wide 20" wheels and tires pushed out to the corners of the car. Performance-wise, the Oettinger-tuned Sciorccos offer power outputs of up to 240hp with even more aggressive engine tuning in the works. Of course upgraded brakes and adjustbable suspension help to balance out the extra power while adding to the the car's aggressive stance....

Everyone who is a frequent visitor has seen the new Scirocco pictures on Speedhunters. But like every car that is released nowadays, it has a predecessor. The car wasn't as successful as the Golf Type 1 but it sure had a strong following. Lennart Dijkstra has captured this 80's symbol in this picture. -Jeroen Willemsen Found on Hostyle's World

Check out this promotional video for the VW Scirocco GT24 that was campaigned in the 24h of Nurburgring last weekend. All three of the Scirocco entries in the race performed very well and it looks like this new car is the real deal. We aren't quite sure about the music choice in the video, but the cars sure are awesome.

Things didn't look very good for the pole sitting Manthey Racing Porsche at the green flag of the Nurburgring 24H race. As the green flag fell the car started to belch huges amount of steam and had to immediatly dive for the pits for repairs to its cooling system. Not a great way to start a 24h race. I'm quite impressed they were able to fight back to take the win. Congrats to them!...

One of the factory Sciroccos blasts through the night at this weekend's Nurburgring 24h. This particular car finished 14th overall, 2nd of the Sciroccos. A pretty impressive race debut for this new machine. Check the official event site for full picture galleries.

More pictures have surfaced of the VW Scirocco racecar which will compete in this weekend's Nurburgring 24 Hour. The Scirocco will be driven by two-time WRC champ Carlos Sainz and two-time Le Mans winner and 'Ring legend, Hans-Joachim Stuck. The racing bodykit really makes a difference to this car. The presentation car carries a Nurburgring track graphic on the side of the car.
