VW POLO R WRC LOUD ACCELERATION ON PUBLIC ROAD! w/ BACKFIRE! 1080p HD!

I've spotted the Volkswagen Polo R WRC Rally Car on the street at Nürburg!

Everyone wants to go rallying these days. Mini put the world on notice when it announced it was heading back into the WRC fray, and now Volkswagen wants to join that party. No longer content to watch its Touaregs blast across the vicious routes of the Dakar Rally, VW is bringing the Polo R WRC hot hatch to the World Rally Championship.

The all-wheel-drive Polo R WRC will be powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, which Volkswagen expects will produce around 300 horsepower. Volkswagen Motorsport has high hopes for its WRC Polo, and hopefully the team can draw on the success that VW experienced with rallying in the 1980s. In 1986, a Volkswagen GTI was the winning car in the newly formed Group A. Look for the Volkwagen Polo R WRC to try and capture some of that former glory starting with the 2013 WRC season!

Hope the WRC Polo thatt goes on sale to public is good next year.

VW Motorsport hasn't announced any plans for building Polo R WRCs for privateer teams that would be willing to buy. However, if there is a high demand for them like with Citroen, Ford and Mini, VWM may probably start building some.

At least there will be something like the WRC variant.

[mlossi]

even putting it in stage mode just for you xD, to bad he didn't do a "real" start.
P.S. the cars looks lovely

[FamilyCTSV]

i see. thanks i did not know that. its confusing with the license plate.

[zarrero]

all WRC cars have more of 300hp. Oficially they are limited to 300, but for example: citroen xsara wrc should have 300hp, but it had around 340hp according to Dani Sordo.

[molinobeer]

How much would cost this thing to a privateer team? Is there any offcial numbers?

Wait a second... SEBASTIEN OGIER STOPPED FOR YOU! Oh yeah!!
(at least it's supposed to be him hahaha)

[RLAPSIN]

Question, are these parts street legal?

[MrScheerApparaat]

Yes, cause every WRC car has to be street legal. For driving between stages.

[FamilyCTSV]

it has a license plate... you dont need to put plates are cars that arent street legal.

[gmax]

Even in the WRC when you have to get from stage to stage using public roads you are required to have some form of registration, in most contries they provide a "visitor" or "demonstration car plate". Again, that aint no street car.

[mlossi]

i think 0-100 around 2.5-3 seconds, all wrc cars are limited to 300hp

[adidasaddict]

No they are making a road going version for anyone to buy, pitched above the GTi, Obviously it's not gonna be anything like a real rally car.
