CoMod Carrera124 Test Report on Carrera the Evo/D132 VW Scirocco GT24 2009 Nürburgring 24 Hours "No.115"
(27316 and 30508)"

The 24-hour race at the Nürburgring is not only a prestigious racing event; it is also often used to test new concepts under real racing conditions. And after the Volkswagen team had already achieved good results in 2008 with conventionally powered Sciroccos, they entered two additional vehicles in the 2009 race that were powered by natural gas. Thanks to their bold reddish-brown color scheme, these cars were easily distinguishable from the familiar blue Sciroccos for spectators and fans alike. At the finish line, they secured a solid 17th place in the overall standings.

On Carrera this model, the newly designed wheels stand out alongside the car’s design. In terms of design and technical specifications, however, everything remains the same—which, in the case of the Scirocco, isn’t a bad starting point.

The chassis meets the 2009 standard and features a solid front axle. With a full set of magnets, it drives both fast and reliably, but even fans of low-magnet or magnet-free slot car racing won’t encounter any major problems. There’s plenty of room in the chassis for lead trim.

A blue Scirocco is recommended as an equally matched opponent, because—unlike the original cars—the scaled-down versions naturally feature identical powertrains: the well-known E200.
