Want To Buy A Race-Spec Volkswagen Polo You Can Go Racing Tomorrow?
If you were to ask any young automotive enthusiast in India which car they would prefer to convert into a race car, most likely you’ll get the answer: the Volkswagen Polo. This German hatchback is extremely popular in the aftermarket modification scene in India. Now, if you are one of those people who actually want a Polo race car but do not want to spend the time to make one, here is your chance to buy the most insane Volkswagen Polo race car.
This particular Volkswagen Polo race car is being offered for sale on Facebook Marketplace. From the pictures, we can note that this Polo has been completely transformed into a race-ready car. In addition to its amazing exterior design and modifications, the car has also been given a ton of performance upgrades to make it quicker around a race track.
On the outside, the owner of this particular car has made it extremely unique. It gets a distinct-looking dual-tone paint job with the front half finished in a bright yellow color. On the other hand, the rear portion and the pillars have been painted in a lovely blue shade.
What adds to the exterior beauty of this Polo are 17-inch OEM Volkswagen multispoke alloy wheels. These wheels have been painted white, which adds a pop. The post also mentions that the buyer will also get a set of stock 15-inch wheels.
Apart from these, the post also states that the 17-inch wheels have been fitted with street tires, while the 15-inch stock wheels have been fitted with brand new track tires. The car has also been lowered on Eibach track springs and gets a custom revolved racing suspension. These help improve the cornering ability of this race car.
Moving on to the interior of this Volkswagen Polo race car, it gets a completely gutted-out interior. This means that the entire rear seat, carpeting, and headliner have been removed. This has been done to make the car as light as possible. This means that this car is now a two-seater.
In addition, the entire car has been given a very sturdy roll cage finished in a contrasting red color. Apart from this, it has also been given an FIA-certified OMP racing seat for the driver and an FIA-certified OMP 6-point racing belt as well. The car also gets metal pedals.
This Polo race car has also been stripped of its air conditioning controls and infotainment system. Instead, it gets a kill switch in the middle of the dashboard. The stock steering wheel has also been replaced with an OMP race steering wheel, which is a lot smaller, comes finished in Alcantara, and gets a yellow center line.
Coming to the performance modifications, this Polo comes equipped with a custom ECU remap and a custom racing exhaust. In addition, it also gets high-performance air filters and EBC brake pads. The car also gets racing engine, brake, and transmission fluids. Lastly, this Polo also comes with a Garmin Catalyst Driving Performance Optimizer.
The exact power figures generated after these modifications have not been revealed in the post. However, it must be a significant change from stock. This particular model is a 2020 Volkswagen Polo Highline variant. This engine in its stock form produced 109 bhp and 175 Nm of torque.
As for the price of this race-ready Volkswagen Polo, you can get this particular car for Rs 14 lakh and it is currently in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The stock car, when available in India, was priced at Rs 10.4 lakh. However, to justify this asking price tag, the car does come equipped with a lot of expensive modifications. So it is a value-for-money car.
