The Car

Built To
Compete.

The car is a 1976 Volkswagen Scirocco Type 53 being developed through real competition.

At its heart is a naturally aspirated OBD1 ABA 2.0-liter 8-valve breathing through dual 40mm Weber DCOE carburetors and driving the front wheels through a Quaife ATB limited-slip differential.

The car competes in Hill Climb, Time Trials and Track Sprint events. The development philosophy is simple: race it, learn from it, improve it and go faster.
