Volkswagen Polo R WRC – Cleared for Take-offs and Landings.

It’s not unusual to find fins and a sick looking rear spoiler to keep a car planted, but it seems quite difficult to keep this particular VW planted on the ground that’s headed for contention in next year’s World Rally Championship, propelled by a 300bhp V2 Rocket 1.6L STI engine, the Polo R WRC is nothing short of a high-flier.

The raw-looking, wider and lighter Polo R WRC showcases some of its jumping abilities thanks to the likes of Sebastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia being at the helm as they take it out along a familiar Finnish rally stage putting ‘fun’ and ‘mental’ into fundamental when throwing the Polo R WRC through its paces.

As usual with most new entrants into the world of motorsports, it will take Volkswagen Motorsport to find their winning ways, but we reckon it’ll be soon enough with this sort of flight preps, but only time will tell and admittedly – we certainly find it hard to wait any longer to watch the Polo R WRC officiate its first flight race.

No lah it’s running Tituan suspension and Uber Lacing stress bar…. Dont play play, they provide Factory team support. Interesting to hear Sachs involvement in rallying considering they are better known for their involvement with the Porsche GT3 Cup cars, RSRs etc….
