Polo GTi Future and Reliability

[way]

6R Polo GTI propective and current owners may want to pay some attention to the 1.6T Polo's racing in China right now and soon in the WRC (see VWW homepage). This is the future of the top model Polo IMO.

More powerful and cheaper to build ... I say watch this space .... 6-12months from now we will have a new top Polo powered by that 1.6T.

I disagree. I think that will be reserved for the Polo R and S1/RS1.

Hasn't this been discussed before?

Yes, but its only been pure speculation before .... now there is an actual VW 1.6T running around .....

To what do you disagree? I did not say Polo GTI, as per my post .... top model Polo = Polo R .... yes ?

Ahhh, in that case I agree. Lol. Sorry my bad, it's just that this thread is discussing GTI so I just assumed. I will order one the day they announce this new model!

I still believe that this 1.6T engine won't see the light of day on a road Polo, just like we won't see the engine in the current Citroen DSG WRC in the DS3 road car IMO.

Actually a detuned version of that exact 1.6T of the WRC Citroen is available in road going DS3s .....

The engine in the DS3 is jsut the 1.6 L turbo found in alot of PSA and MINI model. No big deal.
