Audi S1 confirmed. How long before Polo R?

[JaneAusten]

I'm not too sure, but the math probably went something like 1500 - 1300 for the Golfs.

Wait, let me get the calculator.

About 100kg from Golf GTI to R

LOL... and where did putting names down early get people with the Polo GTI? Nowhere

It's not what you know, it's who you know?

I have the first fully optioned Polo 77TSI in the Australia

Where's the sunroof?

[Billecartz]

The sunroof and NAV were not available in the first shipment, in fact there are still no sunroof cars in the Oz!

Where's the sunroof?

My sunroof is in the back streets of China town, with a roll of 3M Duct tape and a coping saw.

I thought VW have said that they're not building the Polo R. The AWD/Quattro system will be too expensive and profit margin for this car will be petite! Plus the pologti is targeted towards younger buyers.

Look at the Audi A1, starts from $29k ish, with sat-nav,leather,chrome here and there, it will reach $50k in no time! who would want to buy a $50k Polo R? when you can get the Golf R for a few grand more....

Your logic is weird? Why are you using Audi option pricing, applying every option under the sun then saying that will be the price of a Polo R? Whats the difference in price between a Golf GTI and a Golf R? 10K? Apply that to a Polo and you would get a Polo R thats less that 40K. Remember that all the crap you added to an Audi A1 price is optional on a Golf R!

Now that twincharges are being fazed out, what engine will run in the S1/Polo R?????

Audi A1 quattro

Here they have a drive of a quattro A1

and they seem to think the S1 will have a 1.6 turbo engine with 160kw+

[Allegiance]

It's not what you know, it's who you know?

I have the first fully optioned Polo 77TSI in the Australia

I got the first 77TSI DSG with Sports pack in Black

[Billecartz]

I heard too that the engine will be a 1.6 turbo.

It's interesting that WRC cars are now 1.6 turbo and AWD just like the S1 and Polo R!!!

It looks as though Audi and VW have a few rallies on their agenda in the coming years. The Touareg has trounced the opposition in the dakar so amybe VW might turn it's attention on rallying cars in other competitions?
