The VW Scirocco has come a long way since its launch in 1974. Its announcement at the Geneva motor show in March that year officially marked the transition from the rear engined air-cooled Karmann-Ghia sports car to Volkswagen’s next generation of front wheel driven water-cooled cars. It also marked the beginning of the company’s evolution of a true sports car, with performance and handling to match a stylish exterior. In 1976 the GTi model took this performance mantra to the streets, with the Scirocco featuring front and rear sway bars, vented front discs and a high compression fuel injected motor.

    

VW Magazine Australia

VWMA is an Australian owned and published enthusiasts magazine serving both the aircooled and watercooled Volkswagen scene nationally. Published quarterly (Feb, May, Aug, Nov), the magazine is available through newsagents Australia wide or via subscription, and covers every aspect of the hobby, from the very early models through to the latest innovations, motorsport, offroad, kit, custom, books, toys and shows. If it doesn't appear in VWMA then it isn't VW related.

Now in its seventh year, VWMA also hosts two drag racing weekends, sponsors a variety of VW shows, and supports events across the country. Printed and distributed by Australian companies, VWMA is also fortunate to have access to a talented pool of home based VW photojournalists and print/web technicians, who work with VWMA to produce quality VW entertainment each issue. And in 2011, the magazine's website has evolved to encompass the online and portable information revolution with the inclusion of additional media content to enrich the printed reading experience.
