Well they are making a Polo R , but it appears to be just a fancy set of mouldings to add to the range off polos it is as auto car says similar to a SEL or Match model .1.2 petrol version only , I think this would suit my son who's 17  fitted with one of them insure the box modules that keeps a eye on his driving

Sounds like your confusing R-Line, which is a trim level, and a performance R model.

Audi have decided to make an S1 quattro, so i find it hard to believe a Polo R won't follow suit

according to the Audi website that was the A1 quattro limited edition. that was a LHD only that they made 333 of. they never intended to make more, but it was so well received they've decided to put an S1 into production.

I've read that the Polo R will be a similar spec to the S1 above, but will only be FWD. Seems odd to me that VW are preparing to release a Polo that'll be faster than the Golf GTI?

sensors, for development purposes. a lot of spy cars have them when being tested
