The Future of VW Scirocco: A Fully Electric Revival

Reviving the Iconic VW Scirocco

The VW Scirocco, a beloved nameplate that ceased production in 2017, might be making a comeback in the form of a fully electric sports car. Rendering enthusiast Theottle has reimagined the iconic three-door hatchback with a futuristic design inspired by Volkswagen’s latest ID. Code Concept.

Design Inspiration

• This independent VW Scirocco design builds on the three-door hatch body of its predecessor.
• The design retains the classic three-door hatchback silhouette but features a futuristic look inspired by the VW ID. Code Concept.
• The Scirocco is poised to return in the form of an electric sportscar although it’s too early to speculate about its styling.

Modern Updates

The renderings of the new VW Scirocco draw inspiration from the discontinued third-gen model while incorporating contemporary styling cues from the VW ID. Code Concept. The electric crossover debuted recently at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, showcasing VW’s new design language for Chinese-bound EVs.

Future Possibilities

Rumors suggest that VW is considering bringing back the Scirocco as a fully electric sports car, utilizing dual electric motors and promising sharp driving dynamics.
