Overall Performance
The Volkswagen Scirocco has a stock top speed of 211 km/h (131 mph) which is very high for Class E. The acceleration is good but features a weak nitrous output. The handling of the Scirocco is good and responsive, however, like many other FWD cars, this car suffers from understeer.

Although this car is quite heavy, it's not as heavy as other starter cars like the Dodge Challenger R/T or the Pontiac GTO '65. It has a very narrow body, so it can go through small gaps in road blocks with ease. However, as it tends to understeer, dodging Rhinos might be hard.
