This is not one of the expected new Polo variants, even VW knows it is just a body kit over the pathetic 3-cyl 1.2 Petrol engine. We still have our hopes for a decent engine in the Polo. |

Yeah, it isn't the expected version but still one thing is appreciable that atleast they didn't throw some sticker job and called it special edition, rather they really added some body kit which really adds in the driving dynamics of the car. Another thing to be noted is that the VW genuine body kit costs at whopping price of 70K+ (read somewhere), so getting that body kit in this version looks a good deal if one is willing to have Polo with that body kit :D |

But adding a body kit doesn't add anything to the driving dynamics and the additions are purely cosmetic. |
In fact, adding a spoiler on a Front-Wheel Drive car can actually slow it down! It was demonstrated in a Top Gear episode. |

I'm just referring to that fact that they named it 'Sports Racer' and launched it as a variant instead of a limited edition tag. If they had plans on launching the 1.2 TSi anytime soon, it is unlikely they would stamp the Sports tag for the aero kit and it would have been termed a limited edition instead. Just my 2 cents. |

Are you sure? I have always been in belief that skirts actually help in cutting more air at the bottom of the car and make the car more stable, especially at high speeds. Those are used for improving the aerodynamic capabilities of the car. And I am still not convinced that skirts are just cosmetics. |

This could be just a stock-clearing exercise to make way for the 1.2 TSI. With these add-ons, they can actually try and sell the current stock without much discounts. |
