TIME FOR TEA? POLO R WRC GETS JUMPY

VW's rally car proves airborne ability on Finland shakedown


Our friends over at AxisOfOversteer seem to share a similar viewpoint on Ken Block's latest Gymkhana video, which would explain the tip of the wink and "You may notice any number of sideways jumps..." that accompany this rather cool video of the Polo R WRC out testing in Finland. And we thought we'd share with you here.

Feisty looking thing this Polo, seen here running with its S2000 Fabia cousin. Whetted your appetite for WRC 2013? It has ours, likewise the 220hp Polo WRC Concept road car VW showed earlier in the year at the Worthersee show, due for production late next year too. Looks like the forthcoming Renaultsport Clio might have a German rival waiting in the wings...
