Fersiwn argraffiad cyfyngedig o gast fach Volkswagen yw'r Polo cyflymaf erioed, sy'n gallu 151mya ac sy'n cwmpasu 0-62mya mewn 6. Mae 4secVolkswagen wedi datgelu'r fersiwn gynhyrchu o'i Polo cyflymaf erioed – y 151mya, 217bhp Volkswagen Polo R WRC. Fe'i hadeiladwyd i gyd-fynd â mynediad Volkswagens i Bencampwriaeth Rali'r Byd 2013, a dadorchuddiwyd y Polo R WRC yn swyddogol yn lansiad tîm y rali ym Monte Carlo. Cafodd y Volkswagen Polo R WRC ei ragweld gan gysyniad Polo WRC Street a ddangoswyd yn y digwyddiad GTI Treffen a drefnwyd gan Grŵp Croeso Cymru yn Worthersee, Awstria, ym mis Mai. Prin bod y deor gyriant olwyn flaen perfformiad uchel wedi'i newid o'r cysyniad hwnnw i gynhyrchu. Yn seiliedig ar blatfform Polo'r bumed genhedlaeth, o dan y bonrhwyd mae'r tyrbin 2. 0 Injan betrol pedwar pot TSI yn y GTI Golff. Yn y Volkswagen Polo poethaf erioed hwn, mae'r pwerdy'n cynhyrchu 217bhp am 4500-6300rpm a 258lb troedfedd o droque rhwng 2500-4400rpm. Mae gan y car bwysau palmant o 1324kg (yn ôl mesuriadau'r CE, mae'r ffigur hwnnw'n cynnwys gyrrwr sy'n pwyso 68kg, 7kg o fagiau a thanc tanwydd llawn o 90 y cant) er i feistr datblygu Volkswagens, Ulcyfoethog Hackenberg – sydd wedi gyrru'r car yn ystod profion tywydd poeth yn Ne America – ddweud bod y Polo R WRC wedi defnyddio rhai deunyddiau ysgafn a ysbrydolwyd gan y rali. Gan bwysleisio'r cysylltiad rhwng y ffordd a'r rali Polos, cadarnhaodd Hackenberg hefyd fod y Polo R WRC wedi'i adeiladu i helpu i homologation y peiriant rali. Dyluniad y gystadleuaeth Rhaid i Polo ddilyn y fersiwn car ffordd mewn meysydd allweddol. Gyda blwch gêr chwe chyflymder sifft fer, gall y Polo R WRC chwistrellu o 0-62mya mewn 6. 4sec, a tharo cyflymder uchaf o 151mya. Dylai perfformiad y Polo R WRC ragori ar ei gystadleuwyr uwchmini poeth, megis y Ford Fiesta ST sydd ar ddod a'r Renaultsport Clio sy'n arwain y dosbarth. Mae gan y Polo R WRC hefyd ddifetha ffrynt is wedi'i ysbrydoli gan rali gyda inynnau aer mawr, sbwliwr ar ymyl cefn y to a gwasgariad cefn, er nad oes gair ynghylch a yw'r olaf yn ychwanegu budd aerodynamig sylweddol. Mae'r tu allan yn cael WRC yn badio ar y cefn ac R logos o flaen a chefn, tra bod yr iau gwyn a glas/llwyd yn clymu i mewn gyda char cystadleuaeth Polo WRC. Mae'r defnydd o danwydd a hawliwyd yn 38mpg ar y cylch cyfunol a rhoddir allyriadau CO2 ar 174g/km. Dim ond 2500 o enghreifftiau o'r Polo R WRC fydd yn cael eu hadeiladu, a dim ond mewn gyriant llaw chwith y bydd y car ar gael. Bydd archebion ymlaen llaw yn dechrau ar 11 Rhagfyr, a bydd y danfoniadau'n dechrau ym mis Medi 2013. Bydd y car yn costio €33,900. Nid yw Volkswagen UK wedi penderfynu a fydd yn mewnforio nifer cyfyngedig o geir yn swyddogol, er ei fod yn asesu diddordeb posibl. Limited-edition version of Volkswagen's small hatch is the fastest Polo ever, capable of 151mph and covering 0-62mph in 6. 4secVolkswagen has revealed the production version of its fastest-ever Polo – the 151mph, 217bhp Volkswagen Polo R WRC. It has been built to tie-in with Volkswagens entry into the 2013 World Rally Championship, and the Polo R WRC was officially unveiled at the launch of the rally team in Monte Carlo. The Volkswagen Polo R WRC was previewed by the Polo WRC Street concept shown at the VW Group-organised GTI Treffen event in Worthersee, Austria, in May. The high-performance, front-wheel drive hatch has hardly been changed from that concept to production. Based on the fifth-generation Polo platform, under the bonnet is the turbocharged 2. 0 TSI four-pot petrol engine found in the Golf GTI. In this hottest-ever Volkswagen Polo, the powerplant produces 217bhp at 4500-6300rpm and 258lb ft of torque between 2500-4400rpm. The car has a kerb weight of 1324kg (according to EC measurements, that figure includes a driver weighing 68kg, 7kg of luggage and a 90 per cent full fuel tank) although Volkswagens development boss Ulrich Hackenberg – who has driven the car during hot weather testing in South America – said that the Polo R WRC made use of some rally-inspired lightweight materials. Stressing the link between the road and rally Polos, Hackenberg also confirmed that the Polo R WRC was built to assist with the homologation of the rally machine. The design of the competition Polo must follow the road car version in key areas. Equipped with a short-shift six-speed manual gearbox, the Polo R WRC can sprint from 0-62mph in 6. 4sec, and hit a top speed of 151mph. The performance of the Polo R WRC should surpass that of its hot supermini rivals, such as the forthcoming Ford Fiesta ST and the class-leading Renaultsport Clio. The Polo R WRC also has a rally-inspired lower front spoiler with large air inlets, a spoiler on the rear edge of the roof and a rear diffuser, although there's no word on whether the latter adds a significant aerodynamic benefit. The three-door-only Polo rides on 18in alloys and 215/35 R 18 rubber, and is fitted with uprated disc brakes. The motorsport-inspired interior features WRC-badge seat covers, an Alcantara steering wheel, black roof liner and racing-style pedals. The exterior gets WRC badging on the rear and R logos front and rear, while the white and blue/grey livery ties in with the Polo WRC competition car. Claimed fuel consumption is 38mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions are put at 174g/km. Just 2500 examples of the Polo R WRC will be built, and the car will only be available in left-hand drive. Advance orders will start on 11 December, with deliveries scheduled to start in September 2013. The car will cost €33,900. Volkswagen UK hasnt decided whether it will officially import a limited number of cars, although it is assessing potential interest.
