Amongst the various different up! and Beetle models showcased at Volkswagen’s Frankfurt Motor Show stand, this particular car really stands out – the Volkswagen Polo R WRC, which Volkswagen will be entering into the Rally World Championship in 2013.
If you think the Polo GTI’s 180 horses from a small 1.4 liter is crazy, this little pocket rocket boasts a turbocharged 1.6 liter four cylinder engine making 300 horsepower, sent to all four wheels. Now I’m just waiting for a 3-door Polo GTI owner to create a replica – you don’t even need to do the widebody, just the white, silver and blue livery should do!
Look after the jump for more “inspiration”.
