Description

"The base model used for this Gran Turismo Gr.4 original race car was the Volkswagen Scirocco. The small front splitter and rear wing are indicative of the modest approach to modifying the vehicle's exterior. The stability of an FF vehicle and the sharp cornering one expects from a Scirocco are both present here."

―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central

It shares the same description as its base model, stating at the bottom that it is specially tuned for Gr.4 regulations by Gran Turismo.

Trivia

• In the GT Sport Closed Beta, it originally had color names, and the white color was not yet available.
• Its bodywork (and default livery) appears to be based on the Scirocco R-Cup, a one make racecar.
  • The reason for its placement in Gr.4 may also be inspired by the Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 (Volkswagen Motorsport) '08, although neither car share racing-specific body modification and the Gr.4 car is more powerful and lighter compared to the GT24, as it is based on the R-Cup.
• It uses OZ Racing Superturismo LM wheels, a wheel available in the Livery Editor.
• In GT Sport, the wipers were placed on the right-hand drive position despite being left-hand drive. This error was later corrected in GT7.
• Its road-going variant never appeared in GT Sport, and instead was later included in GT7.
