It hasn’t been long since VW released the new Polo, but they already announced the sporty version. The Polo GTi is loved all around the world for being cheap (-er than the Golf GTi) and light, which allows it to go pretty fast. If the previous-generation GTi was already quick as a bullet, this one is definitely going to be even faster.
Its turbocharged 1.4 TSi engine delivers a total of 180hp, making it the mosdt powerful in its class. This engine is another one from VW that uses the downsizing concept. Instead of using a big, thirsty-for-fuel engine, they apply one or two turbochargers into a small engine. Usually, as it is the case of this GTi, they put in a small turbocharger and a big one. The small turbocharger works at its best in lower revs, while the big one has its peak in high revs. This makes the car be nifty at any time.
Prices haven’t been released yet, neither have the standard and optional equipment. We can guess it will cost around 20 thousand euros, which was what the old-generation-GTi used to cost, but due to the improvements made in this new generation, a price increase should not come as a surprise.
André's Opinion
I would definitely buy this car. I’m a fan of small cars, specially the powerful ones. If money wasn’t an issue for me, and if I lived in Europe, this would be one of my choices of what car to buy. It’s a shame VW-Br does not realize there is a potential market for such cars in Brazil.

So Brazil doesn't sell this model? That's too bad.
