English newspaper The Laidy Laim states that a new car company might be set up in the near future, and claim its source are reliable. Not that much is known for the moment.

Is it a rumor newspaper? Or is it a Newspaper only printing facts for the masses to read?
Anyway, people seem to be really joyful and keen on the idea of a new carcompany!

The Laidy Laim is known for having a big amount of its rumor to be quite accurate.

The Laidy Laim has done a few researches during the last days, and they have found three new copyrights in the UK Copyright Services :

Scirocco Automotive ©
Scirocco Racing ©
Scirocco Tuning ©
Scirocco Global ©

Investigations are still going on.

If these researched copyrights appear to be right, Volkswagen is on its backfeet, waiting to sue the new company, as they have patents to the name Scirocco for their own carmodel named; Scirocco.

That has absolutely nothing to do with VW ;)

I'm not sure if the link is allowed, but the name comes right from here, as I'm one of the members of the team : http://gpro.net/gb/TeamProfile.asp?TeamId=637

Boss gave me the right to use the name, as I'm going to represent the team here.

It has been widely reported that Mike "Raptor" Lewis might be the future owner of Scirocco Global © and its groups. But who is Mike Lewis?


Mike Lewis is a famous English businessman and race driver born in 1980. He has won many races in his career in Whitebread Endurance Series and is reknowned for his relatively sharp driving skills for a businessman.
He began racing at 8 with cadet karts, and went through the ranks to become the 1995 KG1 World Champion. At that time, money wasn't a problem, as his parents were businessmen too. But they didn't expect to pay much more to have a seat in formula racing. The family were having money issue, and soon Mike had to stop racing, and carry on studying. After following the same path as his parents, he quickly went on to become extremely rich (it is said his wealth is over 300m£). His love for racing didn't stop, and started racing again (thought he was a tad more succesful than Vadim Kogay).
And now we know how succesful this guy is in racing.

That means that these new companies are in good hands.

Be ready for the soon-to-be-announced plans.


P.S.: Excuse me for any grammatical errors, I'm not English :)

Scirocco Global is happy to say that they started working on something :

"We finally started working on a project. Even though our facilities aren't that good for the moment, we are trying to do a proper concept. For sure it won't be perfect, but we hope we'll do a good job on it. We can't really tell more about it for the moment, but we expect to tell a bit more about it in the near future."

We are very glad to present our first car, which is still a concept car for the moment.
Here's the Scirocco Avantis TR500. It's a Track only car (hence the name TR which stands for Track Racer). 500 means that the car boasts exactly 500hp/ton, which is great, thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber.

For our first project, there was no room for compromises, and no room for entertainment obviously. The car IS the entertainment. As for every model, there's always some inspiration from somewhere. We won't deny the fact that we began to do our blueprint for a Rallycross homologation (our engine is close to a S2000 engine, though it's naturally aspirated). But soon after starting to make our concept, we decided to go sort of full retart and have the lightest chassis possible.

Our main aim was performance, and with 340HP/680KG, you will enjoy having a ride on any racetrack!

Avoid having a crash though. At high speed, it's highly likely that you'll die because of crashing, thanks to no safety.

After running through many negociations, we are really sad to announce we couldn't find an agreement about having better facilities. Therefore in the near future we should stick to making the Scirocco Avantis and its variations.
