This little b-e-a-uty of a car is the latest release in the VW Polo series. It's basically a GTI (Dsaa-yom I live that word) Polo on horse steroids - the kind they use on race horses...Yeah!
It goes by the name of: Polo GTI - "Cup Edition" and its basically the Polo of the junior racing series with a license to kill...I mean a license for the road...Nice!!!
Apart from the obvious external differences (that are very easy on the eye) this baby is a whole different animal under the hood. Here's a rundown of the Polo walking the talk in the hood:
" The turbocharged five-valve four-cylinder engine has had its performance boosted to produce 132 kW (180 PS) from 1.8 litres and a maximum torque of 235 newton meters, already available at 2000 rpm. That puts the Polo GTI at the top of its segment – and makes it a dynamic thrill to drive. Not surprising with a power-weight ratio of just 6.6 kilograms per PS!
This engine propels the fastest Polo of all time to a maximum speed of 225 km/h and the "Cup Edition" accelerates from a zero to 100 km/h in only 7.5 seconds. "
The only shit thing about this engineering wonder is that it won't be released in sunny South Africa. WHICH IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!
Here at home we'll have to settle for the standard 110kw GTI due for release late August or early September 2006. Can't wait!
