"Upping its sporting quotient, VW announced that it will sponsor a GTI Cup racing series in North America in 2008. And it announced that its sporty R32 model, of which only 5,000 will be produced, will be allocated through an order reservation process.   The Cup Series, which will be sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of America, will use stock GTI models with their 200-bhp 2.0-liter turbocharged fours mated to dual shift gate manuals that feature clutchless sequential shifting. Meanwhile, reservations for orders of the 250-bhp R32 will be taken through a proprietary website that current GTI and R32 owners will be given access to. The first 850 prospects who obtain certificates through the site will be allowed to place deposits on the R32 with authorized VW dealers. Deliveries of the R32 are expected to begin in August.
