Polo R WRC to get fierce 600bhp Global Rallycross Championship relative?
News is coming in that the Polo R WRC rally car is to get a firebreathing extra-hot Global Rallycross Championship (GRC) sister. With 600bhp (twice that of the WRC car), erc24.com reports that Volkswagen Motorsport is interested in committing to both the 2013 series and the proposed European X Games events, which take place in Barcelona and Munich in May and June respectively. With door-to-door racing as opposed to timed stages, the Polo ‘R GRC’ could propel the model to further international motorsport recognition, arriving a few months after the start of the 2013 World Rally Championship calendar in which the ‘lower-powered’ WRC car will compete.
