Next generation Polo GTI to retain current motor?

[louis19]

Everywhere you search there is mixed opinions on what VW will do so really until it's officially announced its a matter of "he said, she said". I just hope the Polo R makes can make it to Australia

Ah it's all over the place! 1.8 from the Octavia?? Certainly not the RS as it has a 2.0ltr... Hrmmm

I had read somewhere suggestions of the 1.8l, that would be tasty

Given the twin-charger has been dropped from the Golf 7 line-up, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say it'll be dropped from the Polo too.

I know the 1.8 has been touted around but I'm tipping a tuned version of the 1.4 TSI found in the Golf Highline.

That's a very tuned 1.4L - 140kw +from 1.4L is unusual for a production hot hatch.

Unusuall, but given the current 1.4 puts out 130 something (and 140 something with a tune), it's not that much of a stretch.

Sure the current one is twin-charged but the supercharger really only adds mid range, not outright power.

The trick will be getting a 1.4 turbo not to produce the power to make it drivable (not laggy) and reliable.

Of course I could be wrong. Hey, there is a first time for everything

It has been confirmed that the new Polo GTI will have the EA888 1.8T with 141kw.

Hi Le Clue,

do you have an article you can point us to?

[Le Clue]

There you go..

That does look sort of tasty... what sort of power can they make when tuned?
(and it comes in manual to boot!!)
