VW launch iPhone racing game

The "Scirocco R 24 hour Challenge" allows  gamers to drive the most powerful and fastest accelerating production Scirocco  ever built through a series of difficult corners and expansive landscapes  similar to the Nürburgring.  The game is  available now to download for free for the iPhone and iPod touch from the Apple  App store.

A perfectly animated race circuit that comes so close to the legendary Nordschleife makes the "Scirocco R 24 hour Challenge" pure racing game fun. Three different play modes - qualifying mode, 24 hour mode and multiplayer mode (via Bluetooth) - liven up the game, and extras including the genuine engine note of the Scirocco R, different sound effects and the chance to customise your own Scirocco R by giving it a fresh coat of paint provide long lasting enjoyment. The player can choose to control the Scirocco R by touchscreen or by tilt sensor to provide the best possible intuitive driving fun.  

In  real life, the star of the racing game, the Scirocco R, is powered by a  2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine producing 265 PS and 350 Nm of torque.  This accelerates the Scirocco R to 62 mph  from standstill in 6.0 seconds (5.8 seconds with DSG gearbox) and on to a top  speed of 155 mph.  The Scirocco R is also  fitted with Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC) and ensuring greater grip in all  conditions, especially on tight corners, is XDS (first seen on the new Golf GTI) an electronic cross-axle traction control system.
