From motor racing to the street is the motto of this VW Polo R WRC Street concept car.
At the recent 2012 Wörthersee (VW Group festival), Volkswagen AG presented for the first time a preview of an extremely sporty small series, which is due to be launched in late 2013. With its highly unique and distinctive design, this model cuts an impressive figure with its rear spoiler, diffuser, sports suspension and an inscription with R-WRC logos. But it is the engine that gets our interest.
A powerful 162 kW / 220 PS 2.0 litre TSI produces motorsport-like performance and should see hot hatch leading performance.
But it is this hot WRC race version that we want to test drive. At the heart of this racing version beats a 1.6L TSI engine with approx. 220 kW / 300 PS power output, which ensures impressive acceleration from rest to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds.
