Dunno, I haven't seen it. I must be honest though, I didn't watch it, I just wanted to see a turbo'd tractor.

[FFSport]

Ahhh lmao!

I love me some GSX R 1000 in a polo lol

I've never seen the mystical turbo tractor, linky?

It's pretty good but not the first bike engined polo.

There are a few of them knocking about, this one has been all over the net for years.

I'd certainly like to have a go. Perhaps when the engine dies in my mk2 polo bready then it might be time to do something similar.

Would love to see a PH'ers take on a Super polo...

Its a VW, it's lowered, it has small but wide wheels and is driven by a kid wearing a baseball cap - The stereotyping/bizarre views of all VW owners could make for a rather interesting thread.

To me though, it is another fantastic example of some fun engineering and building something purely for the sake of it.

So what is it? A rear wheel drive polo with 100-120bhp?

In a nutshell yes.

There are a surprising number of bike powered polos.

You have to remember a standard mk4 polo is under 1000kg plus 100-120hp is more than double what most of these cars started with.

This is another example of a mk2F Polo coupe being used & abused. These earlier models top the scales at around 800Kgs, the even earlier ones 700kgs with a full interior. With no interior, a substantially lighter engine/drivetrain I expect these 900cc + engined cars are great fun.

The owner of the above polo also had a 6n polo with a ZXR900 on board.
