The new Volkswagen Scirocco is available to order now and officially goes on sale on September 1 at prices starting from £20,940.

For that sum you get the Scirocco GT with a 198bhp two-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a six-speed manual gearbox. Six-speed DSG transmission is costs an extra £1330.

Early in 2009, the range will expand substantially, as Volkswagen introduces its 158bhp 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine and a 138bhp 2.0 TDI turbo diesel. These cars will also be available in non-GT form with less equipment and correspondingly lower prices.

GT cars come with a touchscreen CD autochanger, climate control air-conditioning, 18" alloy wheels, front foglights and a multifunction steering wheel. All Sciroccos will be fitted as standard with Adapative Chassis Control, which gives the driver a choice of Comfort, Normal and Sport suspension settings.
