Extra Strong Polo?!
« on: 24 April 2012, 10:47 »
Polo R!

VW entering WRC with Polo. Does this mean they will have to produce a polo R?

If so 4wd? 1.6 turbo? 210bhp + ???

doubt it

non of the cars are homologated any more and have no resemblance to the production cars really

i think WRC has lost the plot since proper homologation ended. bring back intergrale's and GT4's!

AS AUDI have a prototype 4wd a1 and will produce it. There's no reason vw could not make an R polo and as its all about accountants and marketing men they probably will.

That may cause problems shifting the A1 Quattro if you could buy the polo equivalent cheaper. I think they wouldn't want to step on the Quattro toes really.
