iMotor has recently gotten their hands on Volkswagen’s new Scirocco R and have released pictures of the beautiful car for all to see.
The Scirocco R will feature a 2.0 TFSI 265 hp engine, 6 speed or DSG transmission and a price tag of £26,000. Other than that it will have the XDS differential featured in the new 2010 GTI, tuned suspension, and custom breaks.
Too bad this thing will only hit showrooms in the UK sometime in 2010 for £26,000.

For the many car addicts aching to find out how much the 2009 BMW Z4 is going to cost, well the long wait is over. BMW North America has just released the U.S pricing for the new 2009 BMW Z4. As expected, there is a price increase over the previous Z4 generation, but still significantly lower than the German pricing.
The entry model, BMW Z4 sDrive30i has a base price of $46,575 and the twin-turbo powered sDrive35i jumps over the 50k mark, more specifically, $52, 475. Both prices include the Destination & Handling fee.
The Cold Weather package costs $1,000 for both models, while the Premium Package was set for the Z4 sDrive30i at $3,900 or $2,800 if you’re buying the Sport Package as well. The Premium Package for the high-end sDrive35i model costs $2,500.
The Sport Package has a more complicated pricing scheme. If you’re buying the sDrive30i or sDrive35i without the Premium options, then the Sport Package is priced at $2,300. Include the Premium and then you’re only paying $1,900.
For those of you looking for the ultimate performance on your new roadster, the 19: wheels with performance tires are priced at $1,200 (available only for the sDrive35i). The new 7-Speed double clutch transmission is available as well only for the twin-turbo engine and it will set you back $1,525.
