How is that "in order to meet FIA regulations, the company has had to build 2,500 Polo R WRC high-performance road cars to homologate its new rally racer"?

Completely different engine, no four wheel drive, different gearbox.... and it doesn't look anything like it!

About the same cost as new mk3 16v in 1996 - that's progress for you :grin:

Dont see the point of bringing that into production, it seems to be as the Golf GTi needs something special on the MK7 to survive not being forced out of production.

Agree with all. Why would you buy this instead of a GiT (either Mk6 or Mk7).
No FWD, which shouldn't happen on any modern R's !
BHP is similar to GiT
Price....you could buy a Golf with all options for that sort of price !
Even a Golf R is available around that sort of price !
Waste of time, glad its not coming here, can't see even-reasonable sales figures for these
