Since Golf GTI has become size of a whale Polo has been replacing it as a thrilling pocket rocket of the Volkswagen fleet. The design of the current Polo is really successful when thinking the size of a car -small cars are somewhat more challenging to make look cool. Soon deputing WRC version has such a muscles that makes it one of the greatest rally car design ever! Hope all the best for it, so I can finally have a new hero replacing the old farts like Delta Integrale and Escort Cosworth.

Anyway VW decided to take everything out of its WRC adventure, so this spring they are introducing Polo R. The teaser was already introduced in Wörthersee's VW enthusiastic show and now its confirmed that they gonna build some. Polo R extends the saga of special Polo's that was started with G40 and followed by GTI Cup. Of course VW wants to be the king of the hill so hope they do things as properly as it sounds in paper and Polo's wolf version doesn't remain just a make up. Not so many details are leaked, but here's some that I was able to find...
