"Like other Volkswagen models of its era—namely the Jetta—the Scirocco derives its name from the wind; in this case, the Mediterranean Sirocco wind, which originates in the Sahara and can reach hurricane speeds in southern Europe. While the stock 1.7-liter 74-horsepower engine that powers the ’81 Scirocco S might not register on the Beaufort scale (the car tops out at a modest 111 mph), the Scirocco S proved to be a worthy replacement for its sports coupe predecessor the Karmann Ghia. The distinctive red VW badge and belt-line moulding set the Scirocco S apart from its standard model counterpart, along with a five-speed transmission, a front spoiler, and light alloy wheels. Visually and performance wise, it’s easy to see why VW customers at the time considered the Scirocco S a breath of fresh air."—Official description[1]
The 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco S - abbreviated as "VW Scirocco '81" - is a front-wheel drive hot hatch by Volkswagen.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 4 as part of the December IGN Pack, in Forza Motorsport 5 as part of the Alpinestars Car Pack, and all subsequent main series titles except for Forza Horizon 3.
Synopsis[]
The 1981 Scirocco was a liftback variant of the Volkswagen Rabbit for the North American market. The special edition S model debuted in 1980 and came with a sports appearance package along with a five-speed transmission as standard. It was replaced in 1982 by the second generation Volkswagen Scirocco.[2]
