There's nothing to do, to see what it's worth a sport, get off the track, to attack the curbs and pushing hard out of corners. A possible practical applications in events such as Days organized by Volkswagen, where the wheel of R Scirocco, Passat Variant 3.6 V6 4Motion Golf GTI and the immortal, we walked several laps on the track in Misano during a weekend-based horses and adrenaline here is how it went.
The first car we put on your eyes and hands, is the Scirocco R, a stylish coupe and aggressive, able to release through the powerful 265 hp 2-liter turbocharged well. Climb aboard with some curiosity, we provide the accommodations of the ritual, when you turn on the track is better to have everything at your fingertips, and then we start to unleash all the cavalry.
Far from the dangers of the road we can fully appreciate the enormous drive of 4-cylinder German marches are pitted quickly one after the other by the paddles of the DSG 6-speed curves and the first coming in a hurry. With the Scirocco there is no need to use too much change and you can safely stay in the third well in the corners where the instinct to use the second lead.
On the 350 Nm of torque delivered at just 2,500 rpm pushing the car without hesitation. Volkswagen coupé in the trajectory is stable and well planted on the ground and not affected at the jump curbs typical driving limit. Certainly on the brakes in downhill, when the weight moves to the front there is a significant reduction of the rear, but it is never a problem to recover the structure.
Among the cars tested at the Power Days could not miss the sport par excellence of the house Volkswagen, Golf GTI, the car that created the sport compact segment. Sure, it's changed much from its predecessor, but some details like the interior with its distinctive checked cloth and mask "speckled" in red, were unchanged.
Compared to the Scirocco R, is less powerful, has "only" 210 hp, but the track does not regret the 55 hp more than the coupe. Already out of the pit lane, the GTI made it understood to be more agile and, at the first turn, allows us to rediscover the pleasure of driving that has been emulated in the past and continues to win many admirers.
Conduct of force, the GTI carries out instructions of the pilot with great ease and is conspicuous by its communicative. The 210 hp is plenty to enjoy: Point the muzzle brake and then attack the curb out of the curve appears to be a practice that was very appreciated by GTI. Furthermore, delaying the detached, you can even eliminate the annoying understeer typical of front wheel drive and playing with the weight transfer, you can close the path to the rear.
Not bad for a car to fashion, able to travel with a good driving comfort. Usually, when you think of a Passat, one imagines a perfect family car can load everything in his voluminous cargo space and is not expected to ever be able to turn a sports car on the track. Well, in the range there is also a version equipped with a 3.6-liter V6, capable of downloading 300 hp to all four wheels.
Sure, we got into the car with a minimum of hesitation, but the track we had to change his mind. Its V6 is never brutal, but the momentum of progressive gives a good idea and helps a lot out of the corners, if anything, is its limit in weight, nearly 1,800 kg, and size. In fast corners and everything runs smoothly in a straight line, but the twists of small and medium-haul tends to widen the path forcing him to remove gas: the power of luck and you can not miss the lost time by hitting the gas just a glimpse of the output curve.
However, even when the structure breaks up and the screeching wheels, four-wheel drive puts things in place and allows the Passat to devour the tarmac under the pressure phasing out of all its 300 hp.
