How long will those side skirts last if VW plan to use them on all surfaces? I would't expect them to survive the first days rallying on loose surfaces, and be ripped off on just about every tarmac event sometime over the three days..... The car as seen here looks more like a touring car racer than a rally car. Looks impressive though!
Awesome driver 👌 deserved the championship a couple more times at least, unfortunately doesn’t know how to score points tactically unlike Loeb who knows when to back off to save championship points
The WRC car that never was. Wonder if VW has one with full wrc livery on display in their personal museum collection. If they have a museum collection. I know many car manufacturers do have a collection of their cars to remember their car model history.
+Tiago Silva The 2017 wrc cars still have to be 1600cc but the restrictor plates for the turbos will be allowed to push the power output to 380hp from the 360hp allowed in 2016 season
Volkswagen retired from WRC just before the 2017 WRC season because of the financial problem after the dieselgate scandal.Anyway,Volkswagen still make a rally car for their customer who want to compete in WRC-2,WRC-3 and/or regional rallies with Polo GTI R5/Rally2
oui la vidéo a était posté en 2015 mais il préparait la nouvelle wrc qui aller voir le jour en 2017 . mais malheureusement après la saison 2016 le programme volkswagen en rallye s’arrêtait là et la 2017 ne vue jamais le jour .
Jost Capito (head of VW motorsports) himself said so: 2014 car with quick mods slammed together. He said they did not even went through wind-tunnel. My guess is they are just trying the wider track, to get a rough feel of the potential gain. I quite seriously doubt they have a new engine in this car already, and most of the work will be around maximizing the gain of the wide track and aero, the engine will come last, probably in a year or so.
+Péter Erdei Yup, it doesn't look good. Those squared off wheel arch extensions look artificial... It looks like a lame street version of the Polo with ebay bodykit....
Are you saying the maximum hp for a WRC car is 380? If so, I read from Wikipedia that the hp limit was 300 (although some were believed to put out 330 to 340). But those are the 1997-2010 WRC regulations.
Marcus is so precise. I miss his driving in WRC
To be fair, he is driving at about 80% here
Finally some badass looking car in WRC again, missed those wild body kits, hoping it will get nice colors
My GTI will never be as cool as that
Guess what we just put in our game 😉
cool
Watched this after seeing the post on your subreddit 😂
crazy spotter at 2:05
Es una gran lástima que VW Polo se haya retirado de los rallyes...
Congrats for getting featured on SpeedHunters!
Rally Argentina will love that bodykit. God forbid they bring the Acropolis back..
2021 will welcome you at the Safari rally...
I would give my kidney to drive one of those!!!!!!!
Моя мечта Volkswagen polo R!
This is awesome!! Group B was the best. Still need to be louder and needs more flames from exhaust!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video skills!
sad that they pulled out
Truth. Cant believe they developed the car, now they pull out to concentrate all resources on development of electric VW vehicles. Its just crazy.
just because the Liberal greeners ganged up on VW. People love to throw stones at shiny things
volkswagon might find a private company to care for this car
theshanamaster privateers are a good idea to keep these beasts in the game.
VW should really stop pandering toward these commie environmentalists.
genial

Such a cool looking car.

Not building anymore, but still they are still around, more over in Europe, than here in the states

Proud owner of a Polo GT 🙌
awesome sound :) beast
ca promet en 2017, le kit carrosserie est genial, avec la deco red bull, ca va etre terrible
Porno.
Yeah, but I'm not complaining.
MegaPeter96 c
That car sounds like it is equipped with air brakes
Feels like i wanna ride that car
What set up is that? The turbo sounds very odd. I've never heard anything like it.
For 2017 the turbo setup is closer to that of a WTCC car.
I was just looking into that. That sound/ALS is totally hushed.
I wish they drive WRC cars in circuit touring championship, ETCC!

It’s gonna be in the new WRC game with full livery!
Nice
2:06 I bet that shit was loud on his footage lol .. I commented before the end of the vid, which is most likely the same footage! Ha
that blow off valve sounds like you open Star Trek Enterprise door
BEATIFUL CAR

wrc cars are all 1600cc.

It is so sad watching these videos and knowing that this car never competed and never will compete in the WRC :(
Since Audi and Volkswagen are like a family, can we say that this is the Quattro's son?
İt have a 2.0 engine is a perfect is very nice engine
engine?
vtcc ?
Why is there a front splitter on a rally car?
+Tomaž Vlašič For mad downforce, and to guide the air around the car better.
+Tomaž Vlašič Tarmac rally trim here, probably quite different front air dam/splitter for gravel rallies
So, now give us a streetversion VW. Do something useful with it.
Listen to that! 😱 0:31 min.
is this even legal street car?
Hmm but whare polo in wrc 2017 ?
Volkswagen retired from WRC just before the 2017 WRC season because of the financial problem after the dieselgate scandal.Anyway,Volkswagen still make a rally car for their customer who want to compete in WRC-2,WRC-3 and/or regional rallies with Polo GTI R5/Rally2
I need that.
That car is thiccc
Il est en test ou?

+Video2rallye83 comment tu sais ces teste à l'avance ?

I thought marcus was never to be seen again driving. Well no more loeb and citroen what so ever for 2016.
sucks really :/
yeah but at least we get something new.
like DTM Car e.e!
How was this posted in 2015 when the footage is from 2017? Tf RUclips, doing some time travelling I see...

Group B light
Teaser Polo R WRC - ruclips.net/video/sVcyTjd3-pM/видео.html
What could and should have been 😞
Well guess it's time to upgrade me 2010 polo
Hello im Polo and they call me Golf
It's a 2014 car with a few mods, not a "2017"
+Axel R. I hope so, it looks bollocks. Hardly the exciting change we were all expecting.

Fair enough. That's understandable - so it's not even really a test mule :P Here's hoping the real thing looks better.
Those WRC has horrible turning radius :D , I guess you have to slide it around instead of doing a normal u turn
Rip this car:(
+Marchettino
terrible son, et lors des freinage, freins à air ou quoi? lol
that is rapid..
Looks like a DTM car :(
+Péter Erdei Yup, it doesn't look good. Those squared off wheel arch extensions look artificial... It looks like a lame street version of the Polo with ebay bodykit....
wisniorek yer but could you get one to run that much hp.
Function not form
380 hp limit..

Eston Playz And Stuff in 2016 the limit it'll be 380
+Eston Playz And Stuff Yeah the limit's being raised in a year or so.
LIAR WAGEN?
Marcus Gronholm...driving a WRC car? QUICK, DIDIER AURIOL, UNLEASH THE TOYOTA YARIS!
The same lame sound:/
