Volkswagen Scirocco Gr.4: A Gran Turismo 7 Racing Machine Inspired by Real-World Performance
The Volkswagen Scirocco Gr.4 is a standout entry in Gran Turismo 7, tailored specifically for the fan-favorite 'Gr.4' racing category. In the Gran Turismo universe, Gr.4 cars are fantasy racecars based on popular real-world production models and are typically balanced to offer a thrilling, close competition akin to GT4-class racing in the real world. The Scirocco Gr.4 perfectly exemplifies this ethos, combining Volkswagen’s renowned engineering with the bold styling of the Scirocco line to create a digital racer that's both accessible and exhilarating.
Based on the third-generation Volkswagen Scirocco—a sporty compact coupe that returned to the carmaker’s lineup in 2008—the Gr.4 reimagines the car with extensive racing modifications. While the road-going Scirocco is respected for its sharp handling and turbocharged performance, the Gr.4 variant turns up the excitement, adding features such as an aggressive aerodynamic kit, substantial weight reduction, racing suspension, a sequential racing gearbox, and a tuned four-cylinder engine that delivers enhanced power. This transformation positions the Scirocco Gr.4 alongside some of the most thrilling track-day machines in the game.
Though the Scirocco has not raced in official factory-backed series like the FIA GT4 Championship in the real world, Volkswagen has a history of supporting privateer teams with Scirocco-based racecars—especially in touring car and one-make series. Gran Turismo 7’s Gr.4 version takes inspiration from these motorsport exploits, delivering a virtual experience that feels authentic and rooted in Volkswagen's sporting pedigree. In the game, the Scirocco Gr.4 is lauded for its balanced, front-wheel-drive dynamics, making it a favorite for players seeking a stable yet competitive racecar. Its unique blend of performance, handling, and the unmistakable Volkswagen design DNA ensures the Scirocco Gr.4 remains one of the most iconic and beloved options in the Gran Turismo 7 garage.
