[Lima]

Yummmm, flared arches...

Lima, you gonna order one when they announce it? This one will start everytime too.

Haha, well a Polo R could be quite good I reckon.

"Volkswagen Australia’s Nadine Nethery confirmed the Polo R would be a one-off for the WRC series and would not inspire a production model."


DAMN!!!!

And it has all the nice things:
4WD, 1.6ltr Turbo, 220KW!!

They would destroy their golf GTI / R sales with a cheaper Polo R. Even if it wasn't as fast, I don't think it would create any extra sales for them.

Especially if it had 220 kw haha

No 4WD version ever made...but hey, looks great as a TWO door very nice. It would be interesting to know how it would go against the DS3 and Fiesta.

Awesome looks horn bag!

It's a shame they moved away from the Group A rules which forced manufacturers to produce road going versions of the cars they wanted to rally.

The claim at the time was that it would bring more manufacturers into the sport as it would reduce costs. Didn't happen. In fact for the last few years it's only been Citroen and Ford with Mitsubishi, Subaru, Skoda, Hyundai, Seat, Peugeot and Toyota all having dropped out at various points.

Looks pretty rice to me... The Fiesta WRC looks way better. Let's see how it goes racing against the others but so far looks wise not a winner in my view.

It's a shame in some ways, but they've dominated the podium in the last 3 runnings. No point flogging a dead horse. Let the others catch up first
