Volkswagen Shirako:

The Volkswagen Scirocco is an impressive performance package with a brilliant engine and chassis, unique looks and exclusive features. It is a car that has very high power and torque values with significantly reduced fuel consumption. An average of only 8.3 liters of super unleaded flows to the combustion chambers via direct injection per 100 kilometers of driving. That corresponds to CO2 emissions of 194 g/km – top values for a fast 250 km/h (electronically limited) sports car. It takes the Shirako 6 seconds to sprint from 80 to 120km/h in fifth gear.
