Polo GTi Cup unleashed

Sick of others grabbing its glory when it invented the whole hot hatch thing, Volkswagen has come up with the Polo GTi Cup.

The 1.8-litre engine has been tuned to deliver 178bhp and 173lb ft of torque.

The increase in power helps the Polo Cup manage 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 141mph.

No word on when it will come to the UK, but it will sell in Germany for the equivalent of £15,700.
