I've heard it's not coming the UK . Real bummer as I'd pretty much convinced SWMBO that we NEED one  :sad1:

Really? I think you may be confusing the Polo R WRC which was a left hooker only special.

The S1/Polo R is certainly a very tempting platform, sadly too small for my family duties otherwise I'd be seriously tempted...

S1/Polo R, Golf R/Evo, Cupra 280 and the S3+, 2014 is going to be a great year to be a VAG fanboy  :happy2: :driver:

1300kg and map to 370bhp stage 1 if it's running the new s3 engines as some say

Id have thought it would run a tuned GTI lump rather than R/S3. Exciting proposition if it is though. 120bhp on a stage 1 map.

I think the Polo R is going to be a future track star. Fingers crossed the platform is shared with SEAT so theres an even cheaper version.

Potential to be a little rocket.

Hopefully is a bit exciting to drive too.

Pretty sure the S1/Polo R is going to be running the good old TFSI K04 lump..

In which case though, a small light hatch, 4wd, DSG and stage 2+ will be a FAST car!

That's the sportback

Looks good and with it having the 2.0 TFSI lump it's gonna be tuneable beyond the standard power output

Crap video, but looks nice doesn't it. Look forward to seeing the Polo R.

It will be a new engine I'd have thought considering the old K04 one no longer meets the required emission levels.

Yeah it won't be the old one, that's discontinued now

Lots of places saying on the web that it's a TFSI and not a TSI - I'm thinking at lesser power (228bhp) it will meet the requirements?

Audi use TFSI for their marketing afaik on all their engines. No TSI badges in the range
