Has anyone overseas converted the Rocco to AWD,,...I wonder

Why carry around the extra weight... it slows you down

YUP!
HPA has done a twin turbo AWD version I believe.

I'm hoping VW make the next Scirocco R AWD, would have so much more potential!

Beat me to it.......

But not quite what the question above really intended. Seem to remember there is a problem with the rear floor pan and fuel tank in relation to a standard AWD rear drive axle arrangement.

How close is the Scirocco R's power to the theoretical limit of power a FWD car can have before it's a bit useless (at least according to TopGear)?

I'd say pretty damn close!
My R32 is currently only front wheel drive and it's useless in anything other than a perfecto dry day and good bitumen. Any conditions other than that and the front wheels just light up. And that's with only 177Kw and 320nm!

So I dunno how some of the Rocco guys do it! hahaha

Sounds a lot like my car (151kw & 320nm), even the TC doesn't sto pthe wheels spinning sometimes on a quick start in the dry. Have to gently take off before... taking off.

Yeah, I cannot wait to get my AWD fixed and have no wheel spin and better balance in corners! haha

So you don't auto change lanes in the wet......it speeds you up !
