Volkswagen Polo R put on the skin of the 180-strong piatigorski GTI. In early may of this year, Volkswagen has announced that in 2013 it will return to the world rally with the Polo R WRC car. The Germans immediately released the main technical characteristics of a racing prototype and said that he spent two years will pass various tests. However, nothing specific about road Polo R us wolfsburgs and not heard. But the rumors-that much! And now they have acquired more and spy photos of pre-production modifications that testers carefully disguised as a "warm" GTI. Externally, the "Erk" gives nothing, except a suspicious measuring equipment on the roof. And yet in the British publication Auto Express absolutely sure that this is the machine, which was announced by OU R GmbH. Apparently, it will be equipped with a new turbocharged engine 1. 6 with direct fuel injection that seventh generation of the Golf. Return - in area 210 "horses". The "battle" of the 300-strong analog unit the Germans, by the way, has already been shown. Pair them with a will to work either six-speed manual gearbox, or "robot" DSG seven ranges. The big mystery - type actuator. Many believe that the link will be sent to the front wheels, between which there are differential with electronic lock. We also are inclined to this version. And not because to make a super-Polo-wheel-drive is technically impossible ("baby" Audi A1, built on the same "cart" PQ25, had befriended because transmission quattro, which through coupling with Haldex electronically controlled multi-disc clutch to connect "back"), but because of the fact that it is very expensive construction. Presumably, acceleration up to hundreds of hot-hatch class B will take about six seconds and top speed will exceed 240 km/H. it is said also, the model will show at the end of 2012. Interestingly, luxury "sister" Audi S1 will appear at the same time or before?
