Auto Bild releases Polo R WRC twin test video; Auto Express publishes road test
Just as Volkswagen Motorsport heads to Rally Sweden with its squad of Polo R WRCs, the UK’s Auto Express has published sister title Auto Bild’s road test of the Polo R WRC road car in its latest issue. The limited edition model, which is left-hand drive only, costs €33.900 and will be available in September, gets a three-star rating. Posting 217bhp from its 2.0-litre TSI engine, the Polo R WRC road car gets from 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds, and only 2500 will be made. Auto Bild meanwhile, has released a video of the test, and although its in German, you can generally get the gist of what’s going on. And besides, you get to see the Polo R WRC competition car in motion!
