Test report by CoMod Carrera124 for the Carrera Evo/D132 VW Scirocco GT24 24h Nürburgring 2009 "No.115"
(27316 and 30508)
The 24-hour race at the Nürburgring is not only a prestigious racing event; it is also a popular venue for testing new concepts under real-world racing conditions. And after the Volkswagen team had already achieved good results with conventionally powered Sciroccos in 2008, they also entered two natural gas-powered vehicles in 2009. Their bold reddish-brown color made these vehicles easily distinguishable from the familiar blue Sciroccos for spectators and fans. They finished the race in a respectable 17th place overall.
In addition to the design, the newly designed rims of the Carrera model are also striking. In terms of form and technology, however, everything remains the same, which isn't a bad starting point in the case of the Scirocco.
The chassis conforms to the 2009 standard and is a full-length front axle. With a full complement of magnets, it handles both smoothly and reliably, but even fans of low-magnet or magnetless slotting won't encounter any major problems. There's plenty of room in the chassis for lead trim.
A blue Scirocco is recommended as an equal opponent, because unlike the original vehicles, the miniatures naturally have identical engines – the well-known E200.
