GTI Polo on the way
Volkswagen has revealed specifications of the GTI version of its current Polo, which will go on sale during the summer.
The car will be powered by a 1.4 TSI engine with 180hp and a 6.9 seconds 0-100km/h capability.
Even with that performance, the car will manage to slip into the B rating for CO2 tax.
A 7-speed DSG gearbox will be part of the package. New springs and dampers will take care of dealing with the extra power and performance, helped by a cross-axle traction control system.
The car will ride 15mm lower than the standard car.
