VW Scirocco GTS launches – but not in UK

There’s a new Scirocco available across Europe from this month – the VW Scirocco GTS – but it’s not coming to the UK. The GTS is more of a trim level than a stand-alone model and you can grab it with a variety of engines – 1.4 litre TSI, 2.0 litre TSI and 2.0 litre TDI – as the GTS trim just adds cosmetic tweaks to the Scirocco and nothing in the way of power or performance upgrades. Those cosmetic tweaks amount to  thumping great black stripes up the bonnet bordered by thinner red stripes (which all continues over the top and down the back of the GTS), red covers for the door mirrors, 18″ alloys, a spoiler at the back (nicked from the Scirocco R) and a more butch back bumper with diffuser.

Video: Autoweek thrashes the 2011 Porsche GT2 RS

Join Autoweek senior editor for motorsports Mac Morrison and road test editor Jonathan Wong as they put the 2011 Porsche GT2 RS through the paces at GingerMan Raceway in southwest Michigan. They take a closer look at what makes the car so special, and they get behind the wheel to find out for themselves. We'll bring you the GT2 RS VBox lap later this week, and stay tuned for Lexus LFA track action coming soon.

Audi RS5 – Spy shots show it’s close

The Audi RS5 with its active boot spoiler on view [ad#ad-1] The last time we saw the Audi RS5 out testing at the Nurburgring, it appeared to be pretty much undisguised. The video we had earlier of the RS5 (which has now been removed by YouTube) showed the RS5 lapping the Nurburgring at a fair lick. But it would appear that the car we saw then still had something to hide – a trick rear spoiler.
