VW Scirocco: R model teaser leaked?

VW Scirocco R
This is either a nice photoshop or a really nice teaser for the VW Scirocco R. Give us more!
VW hinted at a new R-type Scirocco when it revealed the GT24 race-concept back at the Austrian Wörthersee Tour tuning show in May. The concept featured a highly-tuned 2.0L TFSI engine with 325hp (242kW) on tap and drive sent to the front wheels.

Other modifications on the race-concept that could make it to a production version include an upgraded dual-clutch gearbox with new clutch plates, revised gear ratios and a lightened flywheel. The other possibility for the performance Scirocco includes the same 247hp (180kW) 3.2L V6 engine from the current R32 but the car’s Haldex AWD system will likely be skipped for the latest performance coupe.
