Is there any chance for a road-going Polo R variant hitting the roads soon? With Polo R WRC due to enter in 2013, we just can’t rule out the possibilities of a road-going variant. The recent news on a Polo R WRC heading for a rally debut in 2013 is what made the suspicion stronger. However, VW is still wavering when it comes to Polo R.
While the rally racer features a 1.6-liter TSI engine with 300 PS (221 kW / 296 hp) and an all-wheel drive system, the road going variant is expected to come up with a 1.4 TSI tuned to above the 200 PS (147 kW / 197 bhp) mark and may not have an all-wheel drive system at all. It seems to resemble Scirocco R, which has a front-drive model. The current Polo GTI comes with a 1.4 TSI with 180 PS (132 kW / 178 hp) 249 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque.
But, how long will it take for the street-legal variant to make it to the market? Share what you feel about that.

The new volkswagen polo definitely looks interesting and uber cool and it is quite spacious too.Thats what i think at
