Beat the new Polo GTI
Sorry, you'll need a flash player to play this game!
Are you up to the challenge?
Get ready for an exhilarating performance that never disappoints. With 180 bhp in a stylish compact, driving the new Polo GTI is an experience that always sets your heartbeat racing. But a car this extraordinary simply won't settle for any ordinary driver. To rein it in on the road, you'll have to beat it at its own game.
Get in the mood for speed
Slip into its factory-fitted leather sports seats. Let your eyes linger over the distinctive red seams on the leather-trimmed steering wheel, gearshift and parking brake grip. Rest your feet on the brushed metal accelerator pedal. You know what to do next.
Play it safe
The new Polo GTI gives you a worry-free adrenaline rush. Passive safety features include driver, front passenger and head-thorax side airbags. And a host of active safety features such as the ESP, ABS and ASR takes care of any playful handling without breaking a sweat.
Gear up for a sporty ride
Set it to automatic mode and let the 7-speed DSG auto gearbox do all the work for you. But for a truly sporty experience, activate the Tiptronic shift gate or shift paddle on the steering wheel and rev the new Polo GTI to the max.
Pedal to the metal
Floor it and unleash the full 180 bhp of the new Polo GTI's 1.4-litre TSI engine. Supercharged and turbocharged, it does 0-100 km/h in 6.9 sec and reaches a top speed of 229 km/h. This is the most fuel-efficient Polo GTI ever, delivering 16.9 km/l and a CO2 emission of just 139 g/km.
Handle with precision
The new Polo GTI gives you precision handling, thanks to its electronic transverse differential lock (XDS). This reduces understeering and improves handling, especially in quick driving through curves. So you can still have fun on the road without compromising control.
Racy looks
Classic red trim stripes, unique honeycomb air intake, 17-inch "Denver" alloy rims that flaunt its striking red brake callipers – there's no mistaking the racy new Polo GTI. Open the electronic panoramic tilt/slide sunroof, and feel the wind in your hair as you cruise down the highway.
