GTI The Volkswagen Polo GTI is a version of the Volkswagen Polo, produced by German. Mk2 Polo GT G40 and Mk2F Polo G40 The Volkswagen Polo GTI can trace its roots back to the original hot Polo, the 1.3 litre 85 kW (115 PS) G40. It was sold in the United Kingdom between 1990–1994 in the form of the Mk2F Polo, but was available during the late 1980s in limited numbers in Europe in the form of the Mk2 Polo GT.

The car was expensive compared to its rivals of the time, and therefore did not sell in vast numbers (, or GTE/GSi etc.). This makes it highly collectible today and according to magazine, 'a potential future classic'.

If kept in good condition, this lightweight and small engined car will keep up with much larger rivals thanks to its. This is a technology that has recently found its way back into Volkswagen's range of cars, most noticeably the new which boasts 130 kW (170 PS) from its small engine.

It was released in 1995 and available only in left hand drive. It featured a 1.6 litre 16-valve 88 kW (120 PS) engine.

The GTI was not available in the UK at any stage during its limited production, this meant that as of 1994 the UK only had the 75 kW (100 bhp) 1.4 16v as a model with any sporting intent. This was the case until 2000 when the Polo Mk3 model range was finally revamped and the first GTI-branded Polos arrived in the United Kingdom.

Mk3 Facelift (6N2) Polo GTI. Polo GTI 2000–2002 interior Between 2000 and 2002, Volkswagen offered two sporting models — the 16V and GTI. The 16V came with the 1.4 litre16V 74 kW (100 PS) engine and had options such as 15' Spa alloys and air conditioning. However, the GTI – available only in 3 or 5 door hatchback body styles in three colours being red, silver and black. Its power plant was a 1.6 litre16V 92 kW (125 PS) engine with variable valve timing. External changes included a deeper front splitter with honeycomb mesh grilles, lowered sports suspension (10mm), a subtle rear spoiler, deeper side skirts, fog lights, and 15' RXII split rims for the wheels bearing 195/45/15 tyres. There were also standard extras such as fully automatic air conditioning, xenon headlights with a headlight washer system, a six-disc CD autochanger with a GAMMA head unit, exclusive sports interior with leather steering wheel, handbrake and gearstick, chrome inserts, and driver aids such as with and an EDL (a system to aid traction).

Leather and satellite navigation were also optional extras. The Polo GTI Mk3F however never got the new six-speed gearbox that was introduced in the smaller which shared the same engine. Sadly, many of the Polo GTI 5 speed gearboxes fail due to faulty differential rivets and bearings which can only be rectified through a rebuild. Mk4 Polo GT With the introduction of the 2002 Polo, the GTI model was discontinued and was given no direct replacement.

There was however a GT model produced, featuring the same 1.9 TDI 96 kW (130 PS) engine found in the popular and as well as a six-speed gearbox. Although this model had a relatively slow 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of over 9 seconds, it did have impressive mid-range clout with torque figures of 310 Nm (228 lb-ft). This gave the GT very impressive in-gear acceleration, meaning it could make light work of overtaking as well as pull itself out of corners on twisting B roads with ease whilst returning fuel economy of over 50 mpg. Mk4 Polo GTI.

Polo GTI 2005–2009 leather interior It was not until late 2005, after yet another Polo revamp that the GTI was reintroduced. This time it boasted a 1.8T 110 kW (150 PS) engine which had been used in everything from the Mk4 to the.

Despite the impressive figures this new model lacked the standard features of the Polo GTI Mk3 with xenon headlights not even on the options list and fully digital climate control only being an expensive option. Although faster than the 2000–2002 Polo GTI, the newer model was also seen as being off the pace when compared to its rivals, most of which are now nudging 150 kW (200 PS). In Europe this led to VW quickly beefing up the Polo further to create the Polo GTI Cup Edition, which was tuned to around 130 kW (180 PS) and featured more aggressive styling. The Polo GTI Cup Edition has 177 bhp, 29 bhp more than both the standard Polo GTI. The standard Polo GTI model completes 0–100 km/h in 8.2 seconds, but in the Cup Edition completes 0–100 km/h 7.5 seconds This model was also featured in 'Mighty Car Mods', the famous YouTube car show, where it is quickly sold as it was described as not having any 'soul'.

The Mk5 Polo is also 7.5% lighter than its predecessor and with a 22 kW (30 PS) increase in power over the previous generation Polo GTI it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. The Mk5 Polo also includes features not found on previous generation Polos such as touch screen satellite navigation and a seven-speed version of VW's gearbox as standard. Mk6 Polo GTi The Mk6 Polo GTI was launched in 2017. It features a slightly detuned version of the 2.0 litre turbocharged engine from the Mk7 Golf GTI. It produced 197 bhp and was capable of getting to 60 mph in under 6.7 seconds. It will be launched with a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, a manual transmission will arrive later in 2018. Along with the engine, the GTI version came standard with lowered suspension, GTI badges, GTI bumpers, 17 inch wheels, sill extensions, bigger brakes, red brake calipers, twin exhausts, tartan seats, a sport steering, red stitching, and a roof spoiler.
